Comments

Comments: Discusses the mixing of ethnic cultures in realistic fiction. The video class discusses the contemporary preference for stories that feature heroes and heroines of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. The roots of this trend are traced from its earliest days and exemplified in a discussion of folklore and novels from four ethnic groups: Native Americans, Black Americans, Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans. Discussion outlines criteria for choosing multi-ethnic literature, illustrating them through an in-depth analysis of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, by Mildred Taylor. Featured author: Virginia Hamilton
