Drawing on Lacanian psychoanalysis, Jean Wyatt argues not only that individual psychic processes of identification influence social dynamics, but also that social discourses of race, class, and culture shape individual identifications. In addition to examining fictional narratives by Margaret Atwood, Angela Carter, Sandra Cisneros, Toni Morrison, and others, Wyatt also looks at nonfictional accounts of cross-race relations by white feminists and feminists of color. 606 $aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminism and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAmerican fiction$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican American women$xIntellectual life 606 $aPsychoanalysis and feminism$zUnited States 606 $aPsychoanalysis and culture$zUnited States 606 $aIdentification (Psychology) in literature 606 $aMulticulturalism in literature 606 $aGroup identity in literature 606 $aCommunities in literature 606 $aRace in literature 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican American women$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and feminism 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and culture 615 0$aIdentification (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aMulticulturalism in literature. 615 0$aGroup identity in literature. 615 0$aCommunities in literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 676 $a813/.5099287 700 $aWyatt$b Jean$01595293 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808363303321 996 $aRisking Difference$93916167 997 $aUNINA
