Heritage: African American Readings for Writing is a collection of ninety essays, short stories, poems, and plays by and/or about African Americans. In recognizing that African American culture is not monolithic, the authors have chosen a wide range of subjects that will spark the interest of students from diverse backgrounds. These selections, examining both traditional and current issues, are introduced with a biographical sketch of the author. The writing process - from selecting a topic through revising and editing - is presented at the beginning of the text with illustrations of writing in progress. In addition to the writing suggestions provided after each reading, the text contains a writing review section that discusses prewriting, drafting, and rhetorical and revising/editing strategies. The purpose of Heritage is to help students learn to write by providing them with a comprehensive writing guide, containing provocative and well-written professional and student models that are of interest to them.

Ethnic Positioning in Southwestern Mixed Heritage Writing
Author: Judit Ágnes KádárPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793607915
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Ethnic Positioning in Southwestern Mixed Heritage Writing explores how Southwestern writers and visual artists provide an opportunity to turn a stigmatized identity into a self-conscious holder of valuable assets, cultural attitudes, and memories. The problem of mixed ethno-cultural heritage is a relevant feature of North American populations, faced by millions. Narratives on blended heritage show how mixed-race authors utilize their multiple ethnic experiences, knowledge archives, and sensibilities. They explore how individuals attempt to cope with the cognitive anxiety, stigmas, and perceptions that are intertwined in their blended ethnic heritage, family and social dynamics, and the renegotiation of their ethnic identity. The Southwest is a region riddled by Eurocentric and Colonial concepts of identity, yet at the same time highly treasured in the Frontier experiences of physical mobility and mental and spiritual journeys and transformations. Judit Ágnes Kádár argues that the process of ethnic positioning is a choice made by mixed heritage people that results in renegotiated identities, leading to more complex and engaging concepts of themselves.
