- Description
- The field of American women's writing is one characterized by innovation: scholars are discovering new authors and works, as well as new ways of historicizing this literature, rethinking contexts and categories. This book develops and challenges historical, cultural, theoretical, even polemical methods, all of which will advance the future study of American women writers – from Native Americans to postmodern communities, from individual careers to communities of writers and readers.

- Description
- Cannibal Fictions brings together two periods in U.S. history: the years between the Civil War and World War I and the post-Vietnam era, when the nation was beginning to seriously question its own global agenda. Berglund shows how P. T. Barnum, in a traveling exhibit featuring so-called 'Fiji cannibals,' served up an alien 'other' for popular consumption, while Edgar Rice Burroughs in his Tarzan of the Apes series tapped into similar anxieties about the eruption of foreign elements into a homogeneous culture. Turning to the last decades of the twentieth century, Berglund considers how treatments of cannibalism variously perpetuated or subverted racist, sexist, and homophobic ideologies rooted in earlier times. Fannie Flagg's novel Fried Green Tomatoes invokes cannibalism to new effect, offering an explicit critique of racial, gender, and sexual politics (an element to a large extent suppressed in the movie adaptation). Recurring motifs in writing by contemporary American Indian authors Gerald Vizenor, Anna Lee Walters, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Sherman Alexie suggest how Western expansion has, cannibalistically, laid the seeds of its own destruction.

- Description
- Taketani's analysis of women's writings represents a model for understanding colonialist attitudes of antebellum-era Americans. Many of the texts Taketani uncovers from relative obscurity illuminate the American attitude toward 'others' — whether Native American, African American, African, or Asian. Exploring colonialism in a nation that did not have formal colonies is a difficult task, which Taketani accomplishes by thoroughly contextualizing each work she examines. She not only sheds light on the life of the writers she examines, but she also situates each writer's work alongside those of her contemporaries to give the reader a clear picture of the realities of the era.
