Unlike Wilson, he is a third-generation Hungarian American with a strong desire to understand how his ethnic background has affected the course of his life. He writes with clarity, perception, and humor about a subject of importance to many North Americans - reconciling their contemporary identity with a heritage from another country. But more than a collection of essays on ethnicity by a talented writer, the book is structured to share with the reader insights on language, literature, art, and community from a cultural perspective. The book is also unified by the author's attention to certain concerns, including the meaning of multiculturalism, the power of a language to shape one's thinking, the persistence of anti- Semitism, the significance of displacement and nostalgia in emigration, the importance of understanding the past, the need for a narrative tradition in the writing of fiction, and the power of books in Central Europe. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, the book makes a contribution to several fields: Central European and Hungarian studies; North American immigrant and ethnic studies; contemporary literature; comparative literature; and popular culture. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Hungarians|zForeign countries|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008105937|xEthnic identity.|0https ://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00005645 650 0 Hungarian Americans|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85062992|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Civilization.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/862898 650 7 Hungarians|xForeign countries.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/964067 650 7 Ethnicity.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/916034 650 7 Hungarian Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 963900 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 0 Hungary|xCivilization.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85063025 651 7 Hungary.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205132 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aTeleky, Richard, 1946-|tHungarian rhapsodies.|d[Seattle] : University of Washington Press, ©1997|z0295975822|w(DLC) 97006355|w(OCoLC)36423448 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=375887|zOnline eBook.
