The book focuses on orphan figures in a broad, multi-ethnic range of contemporary fiction by Barbara Kingsolver, Linda Hogan, Leslie Marmon Silko, Marilynne Robinson, Michael Cunningham, Jonathan Safran Foer, John Irving, Kaye Gibbons, Octavia Butler, Jewelle Gomez, and Toni Morrison.Contemporary American and Canadian writers.American fiction21st centuryHistory and criticism.Orphans in literatureGroup identity in literatureLiteraturemupLiterary Studies: Fiction, Novelists & Prose WritersbicsscLITERARY CRITICISM / American / GeneralbisachLiterary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writersthemaAmerican novels.cultural memory.family.gender.genre.kinship.multiculturalism.national identity.orphans.race.American fictionHistory and criticism..Orphans in literature.Group identity in literature.LiteratureLiterary Studies: Fiction, Novelists & Prose WritersLITERARY CRITICISM / American / GeneralLiterary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writers813.609Holmgren Troy Maria453768Kella ElizabethWahlström HelenaUkMaJRUBOOK9910159018203321Making home2880318UNINA03802nam 2200985 450 991080793870332120200520144314.00-520-95709-110.1525/9780520957091(CKB)2550000001160020(EBL)1543758(OCoLC)863040725(SSID)ssj0001041717(PQKBManifestationID)12399173(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001041717(PQKBWorkID)11048648(PQKB)11442243(DE-B1597)520643(OCoLC)1058176477(DE-B1597)9780520957091(Au-PeEL)EBL1543758(CaPaEBR)ebr10797446(CaONFJC)MIL543225(MiAaPQ)EBC1543758(EXLCZ)99255000000116002020130731h20142014 ub 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrVietnamese colonial republican the political vision of Vũ Trọng Phụng /Peter ZinomanBerkeley :University of California Press,[2014]©20141 online resource (317 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-520-27628-0 1-306-11974-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Sources of Vũ Trọng Phụng's colonial republicanism -- Capitalism and social reform -- The question of communism -- The crisis of Vietnamese sexuality -- Banning Vũ Trọng Phụng.This volume is a comprehensive study of Vietnam's greatest and most controversial 20th century writer who died tragically in 1939 at the age of 28. Vu Trong Phung is known for a remarkable collection of politically provocative novels and sensational works of non-fiction reportage that were banned by the communist state from 1960 to 1986. Leading Vietnam scholar, Zinoman, resurrects the life and work of an important intellectual and author in order to reveal a neglected political project that is excluded from conventional accounts of modern Vietnamese political history. He sees Vu Trong Phung as a leading proponent of a localized republican tradition that opposed colonialism, communism, and unfettered capitalism-and that led both to the banning of his work and to the durability of his popular appeal in Vietnam today.Social changeVietnamVietnamIntellectual life20th centuryanticommunism.asian history.colonialism.communism.communist state.communist.comprehensive study.controversial 20th century writer.democracy.diplomacy.empire.engaging.government and governing.historical.history of vietnam.human condition.imperialism.indochina.lively.page turner.political history.political project.political.politically provocative novels.popular appeal.reportage.sensational works.southeast asia.unfettered capitalism.vietnam.vietnamese history.vu trong phung.Social change895.92233Zinoman Peter1965-1012972MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807938703321Vietnamese colonial republican3978443UNINA
