Overview

On its original publication in 1991, Imagining America was recognized as a groundbreaking work -- "the collection [that] defines multiculturalism" (Booklist). This revised edition preserves the unique historical arrangement of stories from 1900 to the present within parts that mirror the newcomer's experience -- Arriving, Belonging, Crossings, and Remembering -- and includes eleven new authors to bring the collection up to date: Sherman Alexie, Michelle Cliff, Edwidge Danticat, Junot Diaz, Chitra Divakaruni, Jewelle Gomez, Jessica Hagedorn, Thomas King, Bruce Morrow, Agnes Rossi, and David Wong Louie. They join Toni Cade Bambara, Richard Bausch, Marita Bonner, Nash Candelaria, Sandra Cisneros, Louise Erdrich, Mei Mei Evans, Oscar Hijuelos, Gish Jen, LeRoi Jones / Amiri Baraka, Kim Yong lk, Monfoon Leong, Bernard Malamud, Paule Marshall, Nicholasa Mohr, Toshio Mori, Bharati Mukherjee, Mikhail Naimy, Tahira Naqvi, Gregory Orfalea, Grace Paley, Jeanne Schinto, Leslie Marmon Silko, Michael Stephens, Sui Sin Far, Alice Walker, and Hisaye Yamamoto. Here is the most comprehensive, authoritative, and useful presentation of America's rich literary tradition and multicultural heritage. Book jacket.
