Minority Reports: Identity and Social Knowledge in Nineteenth-Century American Literature

By Michael Borgstrom

Through close readings of texts by African American and women authors, Minority Reports offers a theoretical defense of the use of identity categories in American studies by examining how early American literature not only responds to the social stratification of the nineteenth century but also challenges modern historical conceptions of this era.
