American Nirvana: Immigration As Hindu Transformation In The Fiction Of Bharati Mukherjee, Shefali Milczarek-Desai

Whittier Scholars Program

The stories of Indian immigrant women have never been more than barely audible whispers in the telling of American immigrant history. Bharati Mukherjee, herself an Indian woman and immigrant, chooses to amplify these whispers, and in the process reveals stories of women who leave Mother India and discover new ways of seeing themselves after journeying to America. Mukherjee’s tales are inevitably about the growth and changes in personal identity immigrants undergo once they separate from their homes and cultures, yet they emphasize the uniqueness of Indian women’s experiences in America. Mukherjee’s heroines come from a predominately Hindu culture that assigns …

Primo Levi, Ilona Klein

Faculty Publications

Chemistry and literature, viewed by most people as widely different subjects, come together in the works of Primo Levi, an Italian Jew who was both a professional chemist and a professional writer.

New Narratives Of Southern Manhood: Race, Masculinity, And Closure In Ernest Gaines's Fiction, Suzanne W. Jones

English Faculty Publications

In his fiction Ernest Gaines is interested not only in deconstructing stereotypes but also in presenting new models of southern manhood, for both black and white men. While Gaines has employed traditional definitions of manhood in his fiction, the vision he presents in his most recent novel, A Lesson Before Dying, is similar to that of Cooper Thompson and other contemporary theorists of masculinity, who believe that young men must learn 'traditional masculinity is life threatening' and that being men in a modern world means accepting their vulnerability, expressing a range of emotions, asking for help and support, learning non-violent …

At The New Yorker, Therese Anderson

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

The following essays and letters grew from a notebook I kept while interning at The New Yorker last summer. Each night, in my room at the boardinghouse on 36th Street, I recorded the decorations of the day, like the conversation I had with a prominent writer in the lunchroom, or the sight of a startled shorebird on the front of the office building.
