American Tensions: Literature of Identity and the Search for Social Justice

[Shirley Durr]

Looks like a good resource but I don't have it yet. Maybe next year. Has any of you seen it? used it? know it?

American Tensions: "This anthology of contemporary American poetry, short ficton, and nonfiction, explores issues of identity, oppression, injustice, and social change. Living American writers produced each piece between 1980 and the present; works were selected based on literary merit and the manner in which they address one or more pressing social issues.  

William Reichard has assembled some of the most respected literary artists of our time, asking whose voices are ascendant, whose silenced, and why."
