Conclusion. 520 "This book focuses on the pivotal role which space and spatiality assume in plot and narrative discourse of contemporary U.S.-American literary narratives.

This results in an integrative and emancipatory function of space reflecting the current dynamic toward a more transcultural, diverse and conflictive post-national U.S.-American society"--Provided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Space in literature. 650 0 American fiction|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 American fiction|y20th century|xThemes, motives. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aThoene, Marcel.|tToward diversity and emancipation.|dBielefeld : Transcript, [2016] |z9783837635089|w(OCoLC)961820059 830 0 Lettre (Transcript (Firm)) 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1295327|zOnline eBook.
