prepare a 1050 to 1400 word paper in which you reflect on the nature of American ethnic literature. Consider the following problems: What makes American literature American? What is literary canon? How does literary canon relate to what is going on in society? What special challenges do ethic preparers have within the American literary experience? How do ethnic preparers define literature? How does that differ from the canon of traditional American literature? What historical, socio-political, and cultural topics might be covered by ethnic preparers? How does this differ from the canon of traditional American literature? How are the American literary themes of liberty, opportunity, and equality addressed in ethnic literature?
