Journal Article
A selected bibliography of theoretical and critical texts about Canadian ethnic minority writing
1996
Overview
The following selected bibliography was compiled according to certain criteria established by the compiler: Only English- and French-language works were selected (there exists a substantial number of Haitian-, Hungarian-, Italian-, German-, Ukrainian-, Urdu-, etc. language corpus on Canadian Ethnic Minority Writing); critical works on the literatures of Canada's Indigenous peoples and First Nations were not compiled owing to the compiler's reflection that such literatures should not be viewed as Ethnic Minority Writing owing to First Nations' contention that they should not be categorized as \"ethnic\". The selection was made to include literary criticism as well as theoretical texts; critical texts on works of authors writing in English and French but usually viewed or which could be considered as \"Ethnic\" authors (i.e., immigre(e)/exile individuals whose works contain Canadian \"Ethnic\" perspectives) were included; some works dealing with US or general North American Ethnic Minority Writing which included Canadian perspectives were included; attention was paid to works that appeared abroad; as a rule, collected volumes were not included separately but rather a selection was made of pertinent articles from such volumes. The focus of this selected bibliography is on studies of Canadian Ethnic Minority Writing; however, it should be mentioned that recently there have been, in increasing numbers, incisive theoretical studies published across the globe which consider the study of literature in the context of multiculturalism (or cultural diversity or diaspora writing) which, in turn, is viewed as a \"force in a variety of social and cultural territories\" (Bemheimer). See, for example, Charles Bernheimer, ed., Comparative Literature in the Age of Multiculturalism (Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins UP, 1995); Ella Shohat and Robert Sram, Unthinking Eurocentrism: Multiculturalism and the Media (London and New York: Routledge, 1994); Gurbhagat Singh, ed. Differential Multilogue : Comparative Literature and National Literatures (Delhi: Ajanta Publications, 1991), Susan P. Castillo, Notes from the Periphery: Marginality in North American Literature and Culture (New York: Peter Lang, 1995), or Winfried Siemerling and Katrin Schwenk, eds. Cultural Difference and the Literary Text: Pluralism and the Limits of Authenticity in North American Literatures (Iowa City: U of Iowa P, 1996). Such views on the international landscape of literary and culture scholarship follow and strengthen that particular Canadian position which inscribes scholarship to include rather than--consciously or not--to marginalize. As well, we should take note of two recent anthologies of Canadian Ethnic Minority Writing with selected primary texts: Linda Hutcheon and Marion Richmond, eds. Other Solitudes: Canadian Multicultural Fictions (Toronto: Oxford UP, 1990) and Smaro Kamboureli, ed. Making a Difference: Canadian Multicultural Literature (Toronto: Oxford UP, 1996). I.
