Editors Faith Adiele and Mary Frosch magnificently chart the global quest for identity, and make a strong case for the personal and political importance of sharing our stories as they consider whether coming of age is a Western&#151;or universal&#151;concept.<BR><BR>Featuring an array of voices from every continent, this anthology includes luminaries like Ben Okri and Chang-rae Lee, as well as recent bestsellers Marjane Satrapi and Alexandra Fuller, in addition to a variety of authors renowned abroad but less well-known to North American audiences. The diversity extends to form, encompassing fiction and memoir, graphics, lyric prose, and tales in pidgin and patois.<BR><BR>The world presented is complex and current, some inhabitants routinely switching country and language, others trapped by global events that shape us all. Detailed introductions provide historical and cultural context, particularly for Africa and the Muslim world.<BR><BR>Contributors include: Patrick Chamoiseau, Guadalupe Dueñas, Alexandra Fuller, Oonya Kempadoo, Rohinton Mistry, Chang-rae Lee, Colum McCann, Ben Okri, Marjane Satrapi, Hanan al-Shakyh. 1559510 1 8 2007 Coming of Age Around the World: A Multicultural Anthology total:7|5:1|4:2|3:3|2:1| 7 24 22 4 1566891 1595580808 9781595580801 7 4 3.43 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185299753m/1566891.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1566891.Coming_of_Age_Around_the_World_A_Multicultural_Anthology 4 0 false Sat Jun 07 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 13:00:30 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 12:38:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1566891 1595580808 9781595580801 7 4 3.43 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185299753m/1566891.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1566891.Coming_of_Age_Around_the_World_A_Multicultural_Anthology 5 0 false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Jun 23 21:48:30 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 23 21:50:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1566891 1595580808 9781595580801 7 4 3.43 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185299753m/1566891.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1566891.Coming_of_Age_Around_the_World_A_Multicultural_Anthology 3 0 false Sun Sep 02 13:38:24 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 02 13:35:23 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 02 13:38:03 -0700 2007
