SWITCHED ALLEGIANCES --$tEPILOGUE --$tNOTES --$tINDEX 330 $aOver the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Mexican American and African American cultural productions have seen a proliferation of upward mobility narratives: plotlines that describe desires for financial solvency, middle-class status, and social incorporation. Yet the terms "middle class" and "upward mobility"?often associated with assimilation, selling out, or political conservatism?can hold negative connotations in literary and cultural studies. Surveying literature, film, and television from the 1940's to the 2000's, Elda María Román brings forth these narratives, untangling how they present the intertwined effects of capitalism and white supremacy. Race and Upward Mobility examines how class and ethnicity serve as forms of currency in American literature, affording people of color material and symbolic wages as they traverse class divisions. Identifying four recurring character types?status seekers, conflicted artists, mediators, and gatekeepers?that appear across genres, Román traces how each models a distinct strategy for negotiating race and class. Her comparative analysis sheds light on the overlaps and misalignments, the shared narrative strategies, and the historical trajectories of Mexican American and African American texts, bringing both groups' works into sharper relief. Her study advances both a new approach to ethnic literary studies and a more nuanced understanding of the class-based complexities of racial identity. 410 0$aStanford studies in comparative race and ethnicity. 606 $aAmerican literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aSocial classes in literature 606 $aSocial mobility in literature 606 $aEthnicity in literature 606 $aRace in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aSocial classes in literature. 615 0$aSocial mobility in literature. 615 0$aEthnicity in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 676 $a810.9920693 700 $aRoma?n$b Elda Mari?a$f1983-$01045523 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466504003321 996 $aRace and upward mobility$92471883 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01226nam 2200349Ka 450 001 9910697798703321 005 20081023161947.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002390981 035 $a(OCoLC)263180615 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002390981 100 $a20081023d2007 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aKeeping laptops from getting lost or stolen$b[electronic resource] 210 1$a[Washington, D.C.] :$cFederal Trade Commission, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Division of Consumer and Business Education,$d[2007] 215 $a2 unnumbered pages $cdigital, PDF file 225 1 $aFTC facts for consumers 300 $aTitle from title screen (viewed on Oct. 23, 2008). 300 $a"March 2007." 606 $aLaptop computers 606 $aComputer theft$xPrevention 615 0$aLaptop computers. 615 0$aComputer theft$xPrevention. 712 02$aUnited States.$bFederal Trade Commission.$bDivision of Consumer and Business Education. 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910697798703321 996 $aKeeping laptops from getting lost or stolen$93113454 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05092nam 2200697 450 001 9910814667003321 005 20230912173307.0 010 $a1-4426-7397-4 024 7 $a10.3138/9781442673977 035 $a(CKB)4940000000585664 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4671433 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11257143 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL199199 035 $a(OCoLC)958558725 035 $a(DE-B1597)464400 035 $a(OCoLC)1013954655 035 $a(OCoLC)944178225 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781442673977 035 $a(OCoLC)1378185214 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)musev2_104672 035 $a(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/67fwvx 035 $a(schport)gibson_crkn/2009-12-01/6/418829 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4671433 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3255056 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000585664 100 $a20160915h20062006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aDisraeli's disciple $ethe scandalous life of George Smythe /$fMary S.

"In addition to the portrait it paints of a fascinating man whose public life was as earnest and idealistic as his private life was shocking and titillating, Disraeli's Disciple also provides new insights into the politics of this formative stage in British history."--Jacket. 330 8 $a"Mary S. Millar redresses this omission with Disraeli's Disciple, the first ever biography of Smythe. Drawing from extensive original research, Millar details the full extent of Smythe's early brilliance as a writer and politician with the Young England splinter group that fostered Disraeli's political rise. Millar's research reveals how heavily Disraeli relied on Smythe and how closely Disraeli's fictional characters were based on him: his looks and idealism in Coningsby (1844), his duplicity in Tancred (1847), and his charm in Endymion (1880). Millar identifies Smythe's incisive journalism for the first time, illustrating his fine grasp of European politics and the venom of his personal attacks. 330 1 $a"One of the most intriguing relationships in Victorian history is that between George Smythe (1818-57), handsome aristocrat and iconoclast, and Benjamin Disraeli (1804-81), society novelist, Jewish outsider, and future British prime minister. While Smythe's friendship was central to Disraeli's rise to political power in the 1840s and 1850s, little has been written about Smythe's life beyond a few paragraphs in biographies and histories of the period." 606 $aYoung England movement 606 $aPoliticians$zEngland$vBiography 606 $aNobility$zEngland$vBiography 607 $aGrande-Bretagne$xPolitique et gouvernement$y1837-1901 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aYoung England movement. 615 0$aPoliticians 615 0$aNobility 676 $a941.081092 700 $aMillar$b Mary S.$f1939-$01693839 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814667003321 996 $aDisraeli's disciple$94071940 997 $aUNINA
