Examining neighborhoods in east, south central, and west L.A.--and their imaginative representation by Chicana, African American, and Jewish American writers--this book investigates the moral and political implications of negotiating space. The Border and the Line takes up the central conceit of "the neighbor" to consider how the geography of racial identification and interracial encounters are represented and even made possible by literary language. Dean J. Franco probes how race is formed and transformed in literature and in everyday life, in the works of Helena MariÌa Viramontes, Paul Beatty, James Baldwin, and the writers of the Watts Writers Workshop. Exploring metaphor and metonymy, as well as economic and political circumstance, Franco identifies the potential for reconciliation in the figure of the neighbor, an identity that is grounded by geographical boundaries and which invites their crossing. 650 0 $a American literature $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $z Los Angeles $z Los Angeles $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a American literature $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807114 650 7 $a American literature $x Hispanic American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807169 650 7 $a American literature $x Jewish authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807197 651 7 $a California $z Los Angeles. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204540 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Stanford studies in comparative race and ethnicity. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402021912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FD7C3A6E3F1711E98434DF6697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
