A
wide-ranging and electric overview from multiple perspectives
of what happens to Ethnic Americans when they find themselves
portrayed in the pages of John Steinbeck's writings and in films
based on the same. Our four panelists turn their own incisive
critical eyes on "Mexicans," "Chicanos," "Italians,"
"Italian-Americans," "Chinese," "Asian
Americans," and "Caucasians," aka "White folk"
as they figure in Steinbeck's oeuvre. Of interest to the general
public and to students and scholars of Ethnic Studies, Literature,
and Gender Studies.
