Extract

The essays by chametzky and sollors present a sufficient challenge to one barely initiated into the mysteries of regionalism and ethnicity, who spends his time with the standard texts of American literature. So it goes in American Studies. What I may do by way of contribution is not to present some alternate ideas, which would be foolish, but to explicate for purposes of possible clarification and debate those presented in the two essays. As the two concern themselves with quite different aspects of the general topic, each will be given separate treatment.
