IN THE UNITED
STATES
IS RIFE
WITH
WHAT CHRISTOPHER L. MILLER TERMS INTERCUL-
TURAL
HOAXES. IN FLAGRANT ACTS OF
CULTURAL
APPROPRIATION, AUTHORS
POSE
AS
PEOPLE
THEY
ARE NOT IN ORDER TO CLAIM IDENTITIES THAT AREN T THEIRS.
WRITING
A NEW
PAGE
IN THE SURPRISINGLY LONG HISTORY OF
LITERARY
DECEIT, IMPOSTORS EXTENDS
THE CONVERSATION BEYOND US BORDERS, BRINGING FRENCH AND AFRICAN IDENTITY
HOAXES
INTO
DIALOGUE
WITH
SOME
OF
THEIR
BETTER-KNOWN AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS. EMPLOYING A
COMPARATIVE FRAMEWORK, MILLER CONSIDERS HOW LITERARY APPROPRIATION WORKS
IN FRENCH
AND FRANCOPHONE CONTEXTS WHERE UNIVERSALISM IS OFTEN FAVORED OVER
MULTICULTURALISM.
WHILE WE MIGHT ASSUME THERE AREN T EVEN IDENTITIES (IN THE AMERICAN
SENSE) TO STEAL
UNDER
THESE
CIRCUMSTANCES, MILLER DEMONSTRATES THAT THIS TOO IS A RUSE. THERE IS
ALWAYS
PLENTY OF OTHERNESS TO APPROPRIATE.
URGING US TO CONSIDER CAREFULLY THE IMPORTANCE OF WHO SAYS WHAT,
IMPOSTORS
OFFERS
A
TIMELY EXAMINATION OF THE WORKINGS OF FALSE REPRESENTATION IN LITERATURE
AND BEYOND.
IN
THIS FASCINATING STUDY OF
INTERCULTURAL
LITERARY HOAXES, CHRISTOPHER L. MILLER PROVIDES
A
USEFUL,
BRIEF
HISTORY
OF AMERICAN LITERARY IMPOSTURES AS A BACKDROP FOR HIS INVESTIGA-
TION OF FRANCE S LITERARY HISTORY OF ETHNIC USURPATION. PRESENTING EACH
CASE
IN A LIVELY
AND
ENGAGING
MANNER, MILLER ALSO EXPERTLY DELVES INTO CRITICAL ISSUES OF
CULTURAL
AUTHEN-
TICITY
THROUGH HIS NUANCED CONSIDERATION OF
CRITICAL
THEORY. THIS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN
VOLUME IS AN ESSENTIAL ADDITION TO THE FIELD.

IN
THIS
BOOK,
MILLER TAKES US ON AN EXCITING TOUR OF POSTCOLONIAL AND WORLD
LITERATURE,
GUIDING US THROUGH THE LITERARY
MAZE
OF THE REAL AND THE PRETENDERS TO THE
REAL,
SORTING
OUT FACT FROM FICTION IN A WORLD WHERE THE TWO ARE OFTEN PART OF EACH
OTHER. ALL FICTION
IS
HOAX, BUT NOT ALL HOAX IS FICTION; IT IS JUST THAT, A HOAX. IN THE
PROCESS, HE HELPS US
THINK
THROUGH ISSUES OF AUTHENTICITY AND FALSE AUTHENTICITY, IDENTITY AND
STOLEN IDENTI-
TIES.
IN THIS ERA OF ACCUSATIONS AND COUNTERACCUSATIONS OF FAKE NEWS, I CAN T
THINK OF
A
STUDY MORE RELEVANT TO OUR TIMES.

CROW
IMPOSTORS IS ANOTHER BRILLIANT INTERVENTION BY MILLER ON REPRESENTATION
AND DIFFERENCE.
APPLYING HIS ASTONISHING ERUDITION AND SHARP COMPARATIVE EYE TO A
VARIETY OF CASES,
MILLER
ELABORATES A GENERATIVE THEORY OF INTERCULTURAL HOAXES, INVITING US TO
TAKE
SERIOUSLY
THEIR
CONSEQUENCES
AS CONTENTIOUS LITERARY EVENTS.
