Assesses fictional representations of racial conflict, cooperation, and complicity amid the urban crisis of the 1980s
In Urban Triage, James Kyung-Jin Lee explores how the parallel 1980s trends of literary celebration and social misery manifested themselves in fictional narratives of racial anxiety by focusing on four key works: Alejandro Morales's The Brick People, John Edgar Wideman's Philadelphia Fire, Hisaye Yamamoto's "A Fire in Fontana," and Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities.
"Urban Triage offers the amazingly compelling, accessible, and theoretically sound analyses that the fields of literary and cultural studies require for their growth."
