{"product_id":"9780195072228","title":"Kaleidoscope","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis innovative multicultural reader gathers together diaries, histories, autobiographies, short stories, and excerpts from novels to bring the many facets of the American experience to life, from sixteenth-century explorations to this century's ongoing saga of immigration and acculturation. Extending the traditional boundaries of the American literary canon, the editors first offer a comprehensive overview of the history of multicultural social and literary\n\u003cbr\u003epatterns in the United States, and then present a wealth of richly diverse stories--construing that term in the broadest possible sense--from both celebrated and lesser-known authors emphasizing pluralistic\n\u003cbr\u003eexperience. Whenever possible, they present narratives of cross-cultural contact and exchange, rather than reports of cultures observed in isolation. Offering a uniquely broad range of readings within a strong thematic structure, Kaleidoscope is an enjoyable and enlightening reader for anyone interested in American literature and history, or the new emphasis on multiculturalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48662438871275,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":260.01,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780195072228-1.jpg?v=1781609380","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9780195072228","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
