Voices of Persuasion Politics of Representation in 1930s America

This innovative study demonstrates the seldom-discussed multicultural diversity of Depression-era literature and recasts 1930s cultural history by analysing those genres characteristic of the period. New interpretations of such canonised authors as James Agee, John Dos Passos, Zora Neale Hurston, John G. Neihardt and Tillie Olsen, are coupled with critical discussions of previously little-known works of ethnography, journalism, oral history and polemical fiction.Staub, Michael E. is the author of 'Voices of Persuasion Politics of Representation in 1930s America', published 1994 under ISBN 9780521453905 and ISBN 0521453909.
