Multicultural American Literature: Comparative Black, Native, Latin, and Asian American Fictions
Wordy, bias, book of hate. I do not say things lightly, and yes, I have read it cover to cover. Essentially, whites are evil and everyone is a victim are the two central thesis points. All of the examples point to this idea. The book is very difficult to read, both for its wordiness and its content. Whatever happened to "I have a dream that we would not judge each other by the color of our skin, but the content of our character."

skims without depth
This book is a general survey with many pages of summary of both primary and secondary literature but very little analysis. It fits lots of titles into its broad discussion but offers neither insightful interpretation nor adequate interrogation of the criticism or theory that is needed to interpret the literature. I bought this hoping it would help me prepare to teach a college-level course on the subject and was sorely disappointed.
