By neglecting to mention a character's racial heritage, Whitehead challenges the cultural assumptions of his readers. His African American protagonists are well educated and upwardly mobile and thus lack some of the social angst that is imposed by racial stratification. Despite the critical acclaim and literary awards Whitehead has received, there have been few in-depth examinations Colson Whitehead LiteratureWhitehead, Colson, 1969- -- Criticism and interpretationWhitehead, Colson, 1969- -- Homes and haunts -- New York (State) -- New YorkEnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCAmerican LiteratureHILCCLiterature.Whitehead, Colson, 1969- -- Criticism and interpretation.Whitehead, Colson, 1969- -- Homes and haunts -- New York (State) -- New York.EnglishLanguages & LiteraturesAmerican Literature813.54Fain Kimberly1621537AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910822964903321Colson Whitehead3954866UNINA
