Description: Making Multiculturalism : Boundaries And Meaning In . English Departments, Paperback by Bryson, Bethany Paige, ISBN 0804751641, ISBN-13 9780804751643, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In the 1990s, multiculturalism was a hot issue and many college English departments engaged in the resulting "canon wars." However, some English professors were confused not just by the arguments but by the nature of multiculturalism itself. Bryson (sociology, U. of Virginia) examines four college English departments, quizzing professors on how they define multiculturalism and cultural change, finding that sometimes, social institutions perpetuate themselves by putting old meanings on new ideas. From this she works through such issues as diversity, individual responsibility, and defining the features of culture. As a result, she contends that cultural policy should focus on the cultural implications of structure rather than on individual belief. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
