- Summary:
- This Book centers on Matthew Arnold, William Dean Howells, W. E. B. Du Bois, and W. B. Yeats. Daniel G. Williams argues that these four writers drew on notions of ethnicity as a basis from which to assert their cultural authority. Using these writers, Williams questions the notion of "the West" as it appears and reappears in the formulations of postcolonial theory and challenges the widespread tendency to divide nationalism into "civic" and "ethnic" forms.
