Writers and filmmakers such as Oscar "Zeta" Acosta, Ana Castillo, Julie Dash, Hanif Kureishi, and Salman Rushdie have made brilliant use of magical realism to articulate the trauma of dislocation and the legacies of colonialism that people of color experience in the postcolonial, multiethnic world. This book seeks to redeem and refine the theory of magical realism in U.S. multiethnic and British postcolonial literature and film. Frederick Aldama engages in theoretically sophisticated readings of Ana Castillo's So Far from God, Oscar "Zeta" Acosta's Autobiography of a Brown Buffalo, Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, Shame, The Satanic Verses, and The Moor's Last Sigh, Julie Dash's Daughters of the Dust, and Stephen Frears and Hanif Kureishi's Sammy and Rosie Get Laid. Coining the term "magicorealism" to characterize these works, Aldama not only creates a postethnic critical methodology for enlarging the contact zone between the genres of novel, film, and autobiography, but also shatters the interpretive lens that traditionally confuses the transcription of the real world, where truth and falsity apply, with narrative modes governed by other criteria. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMagic realism (Literature) 606 $aAmerican fiction$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zEnglish-speaking countries 606 $aEthnic groups in literature 606 $aMinorities in literature 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric) 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMagic realism (Literature) 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xMinority authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society 615 0$aEthnic groups in literature. 615 0$aMinorities in literature. 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric) 676 $a813/.087660905 700 $aAldama$b Frederick Luis$f1969-$0855054 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777691203321 996 $aPostethnic narrative criticism$93765378 997 $aUNINA
