| America is a “salad bowl” of different cultures and races. American writers have tried to depict and solve the racial and cultural conflict in their works. We will first read how the white writers addressed the problem and then how the problem looked from the “other” side, among African Americans and other non-white races. The final objective is to revise our own perspective of American culture. |
