Coyote Kills John Wayne: Postmodernism and Contemporary Fictions of the Transcultural Frontier
I bought this book because I have recently been doing some research on James Baldwin. It is an interesting book on the present United States. Still, I couldn't relate to the tendency of unification which Randall Kenan seems to argue. On the one hand, there is great diversity and otherness in American culture, on the other hand, he suggests there is no 'real' difference because of similar religious beliefs. (Perhaps it's my fault, and I don't have confidence in mankind.)
There is an effort in going to the roots of African American culture and relating the history to the present and to personal memories. Associating different levels of experience is what makes great essays. Sometimes I could believe him, sometimes it seemed too constructed like, wait, I have another anecdote to tell you.
It is a nice, short book and an interesting document of American mentality.
