In this illuminating book Mr. Rosenblatt offers both sensitive analyses of individual works and a provocative and compelling thesis. He argues that black fiction has a unity deriving not from any chronological sequence, or simply from its black authorship, but from a particular cyclical conception of history on which practically every significant black american novel and short story is based. marked for oppression by an external physical characteristic, black characters struggle constantly against and within a hostile world. Mr. Rosenblatt's analysis of the way black protagonists try to break historical patterns provides an integrated and sustained interpretation of motives and methods in black fiction. The black hero, after starting on a circular track, may try to change direction by means of his youth, love, education, or humor; or he may try to escape into his own elusive and vague history. But, as Mr. Rosenblatt demonstrates, these attempts all fail. And the black hero discovers in the failure of his attempts that the society which caused all this failure is not only unattainable but undesirable.

205 x 130 mm Antal sidor: 230. Krig är de vuxnas affär, sägs det. Men hur reagerar de barn som tvingas växa upp i en tillvaro fylld av lidande och brutalitet? Roger Rosenblatt, journalist på den ansedda tidskriften Time, ville veta och for därför till några av vår tids krigsskådeplatser: Nordirland, Libanon, Israel, Kambodja och Vietnam. Vad han fann var ofta överraskande. Han mötte barn som inte förlorat hoppet, var förvånansvärt mogna och som hade en livssyn som inte alltid var präglad av våld och hat. Deras syn på kriget och krigshandlingarna skilde sig oftast från de vuxnas. Rosenblatts bok har väckt internationell uppmärksamhet och blivit prisbelönt i USA. Den har kommit ut i ett flertal europeiska länder.

light edge wear to dust jacket. Rosenblatt, a contributing editor to the New Republic and Vanity Fair and a regular essayist for the MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour , skillfully draws out his interviewees, whether the person is a homeless woman in New York City who was once a nightclub dancer, a prisoner in Attica smoldering with anger, or a fiercely anti-communist Latvian jazz saxophonist in Leningrad. This wholly engaging collection of essays, articles, reviews and autobiographical sketches includes an extended meditation on Hiroshima, a piece on the ""disappeared"" victims of Argentina's military dictatorship and the eloquent title essay about a 1982 plane crash into the Potomac, in which an anonymous man rescued fellow passengers before he succumbed to the icy waters. There are disarming profiles of Ronald Reagan, Candice Bergen, New York governor Mario Cuomo; appreciations of African American autobiographies and Langston Hughes's ""Simple"" stories; and an alarming report on war-torn Sudan where some 100,000 boys, whose parents had been slaughtered, walked barefoot for hundreds of miles in search of safety. -- Publisher's Weekly http://www.scrybepress.com/images/kb003347.jpg
