The author argues that the nation's fiction and nonfiction expose a "secret history" that cuts beneath the "straight histories" of our official accounts. And it does so by revealing personal stories of love, work, family, war, and interracial romance as they were lived out across the decades of the twentieth century. He reads authors both familiar and neglected, examining "double consciousness" in the post Civil War era through works by Charles W. Chesnutt, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington. He reveals aspects of the Depression in the fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Anzia Yezierska, and John Steinbeck. Period by period, the author's readings recover the felt sense of life as it was lived, opening dimensions of the critical issues of a given time. The rise of the women's movement, for example, is revivified in new appraisals of works by Eudora Welty, Ann Petry, and Mary McCarthy. Running through the examination of individual works and times is his argument about reading itself. Reading is not a passive activity but an empathetic act of cocreation, what Faulkner calls "overpassing to love." Empathetic reading recognizes and relives the emotional, cultural, and political dimensions of an individual and collective past. And discovering a usable American past, as the author shows, enables us to confront the urgencies of our present moment.American fictionHistory and criticismHistory in literatureLiterature and historyUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesIn literatureElectronic books.American fictionHistory and criticism.History in literature.Literature and historyHistory.810.9/35873Wyatt David1948-936711MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464255403321Secret histories2247324UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress03277oam 2200541 450 991078447180332120170523091551.01-315-49771-91-315-49772-71-315-49773-51-280-91244-897866109124450-7656-2003-010.4324/9781315497730 (OCoLC)242684444(MiFhGG)GVRL5GCY(EXLCZ)99100000000034847220040927d2006 uy 0engurun|---uuuuatxtccrChina and the challenge of economic globalization the impact of WTO membership /edited by Hung-Gay Fung, Changhong Pei, and Kevin H.
