Book Details
First Sentence
"The flourishing of whiteness studies in the 1990s, due particularly to its focus upon European immigration, provides much of the justification for the present study because it helps us understand what is at stake in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century literary discourses of assimilation."
