An Ethics of Reading considers how writers of contemporary American
fiction represent collective identities by producing literature that bears
witness to cultural traumas. With chapters focused on important
American novelists including Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Sherman
Alexie, Edwidge Danticat and Junot Diaz, the book works to situate novels
that explore ethnic identity in conversation with one another. From those
intertextual conversations, it draws conclusions about how fiction
functions as testimony and the ways that readers might work to ethically
respond to the testimonial features of the prose.
The book s investigations of distinct cultural traumas are broad, ranging
from analyses of African American novels that treat slavery to Native
American novels that portray land and child theft to Dominican and
Haitian American accounts of US-backed hegemony in the Caribbean
diaspora. Ultimately, the central claim of the book — that some works of
contemporary American fiction function both didactically and
aesthetically as cultural markers around which ethnic identities might be
negotiated by writers and readers — becomes a kind of call to action for
literary studies in the early 21st century, encouraging an ideological and
pragmatic shift in how contemporary literature is read, analysed and
discussed. By suggesting specific strategies for considering ethnicity in a
radically diasporic American context, the book calls for critical
engagement that is also concerned with the ethics of interpretive praxis,
which, it suggests, might be a mechanism for building coalitions for social
justice within, around, and through literature.
