| Sumario: | Based on the structured analysis of selected North American novels, this work examines global cities as a literary phenomenon (»DiverCity±). By analyzing Dionne Brand's Toronto, »What We All Long For± (2005), Chang-rae Lee's New York, »Native Speaker± (1995), and Karen Tei Yamashita's Los Angeles, »Tropic of Orange± (1997), Melanie U. Pooch provides the connecting link for exploring the triad of globalization and its effects, global cities as cultural nodal points, and cultural diversity in a globalizing age as a literary phenomenon. Thus, she contributes to a global, interdisciplinary, and multi-perspectival understanding of literature, culture, and society. |
