Editorial Reviews

Review

"With considerable literary and historical scope and with original archival research, The Romance of Authenticity is a valuable contribution to current scholarly debates regarding U.S. regionalism, multicultural literature, and reception studies. Karem challenges liberal multiculturalism for an ‘inclusiveness’ that often depends on narrow ‘representativeness’ that the ethnic author explicitly rejects, and is particularly effective in showing how such representativeness often depends on misreadings of ethnic authors’ intentions.

-- John Carlos Rowe, author of The New American Studies
