Race: The History of an Idea in America Paperback / softback
by Thomas F. (Professor of English, Professor of English, Trinity University) Gossett
Part of the Race and American Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
When Tom Gossett's Race: The History of an Idea in America appeared more than a generation ago, it explored the impact of race theory on literature in a way that anticipated the entire current scholarly discourse on the subject.
Though it has gone out of print, it has never been rendered obsolete.
Its reprinting is a boon to younger scholars in particular who are unfamiliar with its rich presentation of fact and its clear, efficient analysis, from which so much later theorizing has developed.
With a new afterword by and about the author, and an introduction by series editors Arnold Rampersad and Shelley Fisher Fishkin, this edition should find a wide readership among young scholars and students working in African-American, literary, and cultural studies.
