Other titles from Werner Sollors

Beyond Ethnicity: Consent and Descent in American Culture
by Werner Sollors
Oxford University Press, 1987
The rich ethnic mix that constitutes our society accounts for much of its vitality. In this provocative book, Werner Sollors assesses the role of ethnicity in American literature - what literature has said and continues to say about our diverse culture.

Neither Black nor White Yet Both: Thematic Explorations of Interracial Literature

Oxford University Press, 1997
The book analyzes recurrent motifs in scientific and legal works as well as in fiction, drama, and poetry, considering such authors as Heliodorus, John Stedman, Buffon, Thomas Jefferson, Heinrich von Kleist, Victor Hugo, Aleksandr Sergeevic Puskin, Hans Christian Andersen, Lydia Marie Child, Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Wells Brown, Mark Twain, Charles Chesnutt, Kate Chopin, Cirilo Villaverde, Aluisio Azevedo, Pauline Hopkins, Langston Hughes, Jessie Fauset, William Faulkner, and Boris Vian.

Theories of Ethnicity: A Classical Reader
Edited by Werner Sollors
New York University Press, 1996
Theories of Ethnicity provides, in one convenient volume, the most probing and frequently cited considerations of such topics as the melting pot and pluralism, race and race problems, intermarriage, kinship and religion, and much more.

Blacks at Harvard: A Documentary History of African-American Experience at Harvard and Radcliffe
Edited by Werner Sollors, Caldwell Titcomb, Thomas A. Underwood
New York University Press, 1993
Included in this documentary history are scholarly overviews, poems, short stories, speeches, well-known memoirs by the famous, previously unpublished memoirs by the lesser known, newspaper accounts, letters, official papers of the university, and transcripts of debates. The editors have collected here writings as diverse as those of Booker T. Washington, William Hastie, Malcolm X, and Muriel Snowden to convey the complex ways in which Harvard has affected the thinking of African Americans and the ways, in turn, in which African Americans have influenced the traditions of Harvard and Radcliffe.

Multilingual America: Transnationalism, Ethnicity, and the Languages of America
Edited by Werner Sollors
New York University Press, 1998
Arguing that multilingualism is perhaps the most important form of diversity, Multilingual America calls attention to-and seeks to correct-the linguistic parochialism that has defined American literary study. By bringing together essays on important works by, among others, Yiddish, Chinese American, German American, Italian American, Norwegian American, and Spanish American writers, Werner Sollors here presents a fuller view of multilingualism as a historical phenomenon and as an ongoing way of life.
