Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume departs from a more static concept of identity politics to engage the varied and entangled processes of ethnic/racial, national, and gender identifications in a range of contemporary US ethnic texts (from the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s). Recognizing the growing salience of variously named ethnic, multicultural, and minority literatures as they are produced and circulated in the USA and worldwide nowadays, this work charts four broadly defined models of approaching such texts: cultural nationalism, ethnic feminism, borderlands and contact zones, and finally, the diasporic model. Drawing extensively on psychoanalytic theory, feminist/gender studies, critical race theory, postcolonial theory, and its revision of |

|
ethnography, the book offers a fresh, engaged, theoretically, and analytically well-rehearsed overview of the distinctive and determining features of a rapidly expanding domain of contemporary US literary production, namely, ethnic literatures. Of potential interest to scholars of American/US literature, but also minority and postcolonial literatures, and to students of American literature, the book attempts an interethnic comparative approach to well- and lesser-known texts. Among the authors represented are Shawn Wong, Oscar Zeta Acosta, Toni Morrison, Maxine Hong Kingston, Sherman Alexie, Denise Chávez, Rolando Hinojosa, Roberto Fernández and Edwidge Danticat. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores the history and evolution of the German Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof - BGH) from 1950 to 1965. It delves into the challenges faced during its establishment in post-war Germany, the transitional justice system, and the integration of former Nazi-era judges into the judiciary. The work analyzes the political, social, and institutional factors shaping the BGH, highlighting its role in rebuilding a democratic legal system. Supported by extensive archival research and personal accounts, the authors provide insights into the |

court's personnel, organizational structure, and interaction with broader societal changes. The book is intended for readers interested in legal history, post-war justice, and the institutional development of Germany's judiciary system. |
