In "Loose Canons", one of America's leading literary and cultural critics, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., offers a broad, illuminating look at this highly contentious issue. Gates agrees that our world is deeply divided by nationalism, racism, and sexism, and argues that the only way to transcend these divisions--to forge a civic culture that respects both differences and similarities--is through education that respects both the diversity and commonalities of human culture....One of America's foremost advocates of African-American Studies, Henry Louis Gates has reflected upon the varied meanings of multiculturalism throughout his professional career, long before it became a national controversy. What we find in these pages, then, is the fruit of years of reflection on culture, racism, and the "American identity," and a deep commitment to broadening the literary and cultural horizons for all Americans.

Book Description: Oxford University Press Inc, United States, 1995. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 200 x 130 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. Henry Louis Gates, Jr., has established himself as the spokesman-at-large for the richness and vibrancy of the black tradition in American culture. Gates has always been concerned with the potential of black studies to integrate not only the academy, but ultimately the American mind. This book collects his best popular pieces on the politics of multiculturalism. Written with clarity, grace, and humor, these essays touch upon the political, social and cultural dimensions of the "canon issue", and illustrate how its ramifications extend far beyond the syllabuses of college literature courses. From the Sam Slade capers that have appeared in the "New York Times Book Review" to the text of the controversial MLA "Goodbye Columbus" address, the collected essays will offer a lively and important view of our literary culture and its possibilities.
