Identifying four recurring character types -- status seekers, conflicted artists, mediators, and gatekeepers -- that appear across genres, Elda Maria Roman traces how each models a distinct strategy for negotiating race and class. Her comparative analysis sheds light on the overlaps and misalignments, the shared narrative strategies, and the historical trajectories of Mexican American and African American texts, bringing both groups' works into sharper relief. Her study advances both a new approach to ethnic literary studies and a more nuanced understanding of the class-based complexities of racial identity. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a African Americans in literature. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans in literature. 650 0 $a Social classes in literature. 650 0 $a Social mobility in literature. 650 0 $a Ethnicity in literature. 650 0 $a Race in literature. 830 0 $a Stanford studies in comparative race and ethnicity. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116055118.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403020559.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D7D7EE0A370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
