"An exhilarating mix of unpredictable points of view . . . there's real vitality in this anthology's crazy-quilt vision of America."-Kirkus Reviews Is there such a thing as "American" culture? No, says Ishmael Reed, the editor of this refreshing anthology and a longtime critic of the mainstream media which, he insists, marginalizes non-Anglo, non-Yankee cultures. In this impressive collection of dissenting voices, Reed and other African-Americans, Native Americans, Asian-Americans, Italian-Americans, and Irish-Americans speak out against monoculturalism and provide perspectives from points of view frequently omitted from the discussion of race in the United States. Addressing a broad variety of issues-including assimilation; racial conflicts between minorities and within the gay rights movement; victimization; and stereotyping-these essays by notable writers, teachers, students, and professionals take us far beyond the issues of black vs. white and often veer toward the controversial. Stimulating, unpredictable, and provocative, Multi-America introduces the authentic voices of Rainbow America in all their diverse, angry, proud, celebratory glory. Contributors include: • Miguel Algarin • Amiri Baraka • Ana Castillo • Frank Chin • Earl Ofari Hutchinson • Jack Foley • Robert Elliot Fox • Daniela Gioseffi • Nathan Hare • Juan Felipe Herrera • Helen Barolini • Maulana Karenga • Martin Kilson • Elaine H.
