Ideological Dissension and Conciliation in Three African American Novels of the 1980s
This article explores the intricate nexus among three African American novels of the 1980s: Alice Walker’s "The Color Purple", Ishmael Reed’s "Reckless Eyeballing", and Trey Ellis’s "Platitudes". Because these novels engage one another in an intellectual discourse, especially on issues relating to race, class, and gender, it is crucial to examine the Walker-Reed paradox and its reconciliation in Ellis’s Platitudes. Focused primarily on the litera…
Purple hats and threatened Whiteness in Flannery O’Connor’s ‘Everything That Rises Must Converge’
Among Flannery O’Connor’s stories, ‘Everything That Rises Must Converge’ is one of the most frequently anthologized. Although the story explicitly addresses the southern reaction to integration measures taken in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement, critics of the story tend to gloss over the binary relationship between Whiteness and Blackness, the extent of White privilege, and the limits of Black tolerance. Although the story was published ov…

This article offers a brief overview of the problems in representations of the Vietnam War and the Vietnamese people, in Vietnamese, American, and Vietnamese American literatures. Each literary corpus ideologically politicizes collective and individual memory about the war to serve a certain political agenda. Bao Ninh’s The Sorrow of War and Dang Thuy Tram’s Last Night I Dreamed of Peace—two narratives written from the perspective of the Vietname…
Thematic Shifts in Contemporary Vietnamese American Novels
This article examines the thematic shifts in three contemporary Vietnamese American novels published since 2003: Monique Truong's The Book of Salt, Dao Strom's Grass Roof, Tin Roof, and Bich Minh Nguyen's Short Girls. I argue that by concentrating on the themes of inferiority and invisibility and issues related to ethnic and racial relationships in U.S. culture (instead of concentrating on the Vietnam War and the refugee experiences), some contem…
Trey Ellis's Platitudes
Trey Ellis has emerged as a prominent African American writer of the late-twentieth century, despite the small number of his published works. "The New Black Aesthetic," an essay that he first published in CaUaloo in 1989, one year after the publication of his first novel, Platitudes, stands as a manifesto that defines and articulates his perspective on the emerging black literary voices and culture of the time, and on "the future of African Ameri…
