Construction Of Caribbeanness: Race And Ethnicity
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Deciphering Caribbean attributes within the literary world is not always a simple observation; rather, such depiction requires an inherent knowledge that can only be found in those who place both their hearts and souls into the work. Two authors in particular stand out in this field as successfully portraying Caribbeanness within their writings: Jean Rhys' "Wide Sargasso Sea" and Maryse Conde's "I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem." The two authors clearly exemplify the fundamental aspects of Caribbeanness, while at the same time address the vastness of the human condition. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Contemporary Issues And Images Of Asian-Americans
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. The notion of cultural assimilation carries with it significant challenges for those who strive to adapt to an entirely new way of life. The manner by which issues are addressed in Asian-American media provides one with a significantly better understanding of just how difficult a time myriad Asians have had while attempting to reconstruct their entire cultural existence. Various media formats have adopted a perspective on Asian ethnocentricity in such a way as to clearly illustrate these challenges, with film, television and print offering much the same viewpoints. The vast issues that are presented compare to historical depiction by way of carrying forth the continuing difficulties that exist within Asian-American populations, inasmuch as historical communities reflected much the same obstacles that exist within contemporary society. When one examines the importance of such media attention with regard to the Asian-American society, literary contribution is one area that cannot be overlooked, and Amy Tan is one writer who is at the forefront of accurate depiction. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
