Hybrid narrative forms are used frequently by authors exploring or living in multicultural societies as a method of reflecting multicultural lives. This timely book examines this rhetorical strategy, which permits an author to bridge cultures via literary technique. Strategies covered include multilingualism, magical realism, ironic humor, the use of mythological figures from the characters' heritage cultures, and the presentation of different perspectives on landscapes and other spaces as related to ethnicity. By investigating elements of ethnic literature comparatively, this book reaches beyond the boundaries of any one ethnic group, a vital quality in today's world.
Holly E. Martin is a professor emeritus from the English Department at Appalachian State University, where she specialized in ethnic U.S. literature. She has authored a book and numerous articles on ethnic and multilingual literature that have appeared in such journals such as Comparative American Studies, The Journal of American Culture, and Asian American Literature.
