Sommario/riassunto |
|
What unites and what divides Americans as a nation? Who are we, and can we strike a balance between an emphasis on our divergent ethnic origins and what we have in common? Opening with a survey of American literature through the vantage point of ethnicity, Werner Sollors examines our evolving understanding of ourselves as an Anglo-American nation to a multicultural one and the key role writing has |

played in that process. Challenges of Diversity contains stories of American myths of arrival (pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, slave ships at Jamestown, steerage passengers at Ellis Island), the powerful rhetoric of egalitarian promise in the Declaration of Independence and the heterogeneous ends to which it has been put, and the recurring tropes of multiculturalism over time (e pluribus unum, melting pot, cultural pluralism). Sollors suggests that although the transformation of this settler country into a polyethnic and self-consciously multicultural nation may appear as a story of great progress toward the fulfillment of egalitarian ideals, deepening economic inequality actually exacerbates the divisions among Americans today. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
We present our reprint dedicated to the study of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, OSCC remains a challenge for scientists and clinicians worldwide. This compilation of articles addresses novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the prevention and treatment of OSCC. Articles cover topics such as the combined use of pathway inhibitors in cancer control, the role of genes and microRNAs, the interaction between smoking and HPV infection, and potential biomarkers for diagnosis and therapy. |
