After reviewing the varieties of melting-pot ideas being bruited in political circles, she discusses Henry James in the Intellectual Pot-au-feu; James Weldon Johnson's integrationist chameleonism; recollection, reform, and broken time in Willa Cather; and Gertrude Stein and individual anything. In an afterword, she considers melting-pot histories of the present. The notion of melting pot has been widely dismissed and ridiculed for the past few decades, and Wilson reminds scholars that it was once reputable and even noble. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Assimilation (Sociology) in literature. 650 0 $a Acculturation in literature. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration in literature. 650 0 $a Modernism (Literature) $z United States. 650 0 $a Americanization $x History $y 20th century. 650 17 $a Immigratie. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Modernisme (cultuur) $2 gtt 650 17 $a Bellettrie. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Sociologische aspecten. $2 gtt 651 7 $a Verenigde Staten. $2 gtt 856 42 $z Additional Information at Google Books $u http://books.google.com/books?isbn=9780801448164 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180126011941.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20120928010841.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0BB2D4DA093211E28379C6BD6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IOKInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
