An American
IN THE MAKING
multi-ethnic literatures of the americas
AMRITJIT SINGH, CARLA L. PETERSON, C. LOK CHUA, SERIES EDITORS
The MELA series aims to expand and deepen our sense of American literatures as multi-
cultural and multi-lingual and works to establish a broader understanding of “America” as
a complex site for the creation of national, transnational, and global narratives. Volumes in
the series focus on the recovery, consolidation, and reevaluation of literary expression in the
United States, Canada, and the Caribbean as shaped by the experience of race, ethnicity,
national origin, region, class, gender, and language.
