Memory's Stories: Interdisciplinary Readings of Multicultural Life Narratives
Autor Thomas V. McGovernen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mai 2007
Chapter One introduces the author's schema and explores Saint Augustine's The Confessions. Chapter Two uses Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory to examine Thomas Merton's The Seven Storey Mountain. In Chapter Three, the author evaluates Black Elk Speaks and The Autobiography of Malcolm X, using William James's psychology of religion framework. Feminist literary theorists, like Sidonie Smith, provide the critical tools for Chapter Four and Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior. In Chapter Five, with Dan McAdams's life story model of identity, the author analyzes three serial autobiographies by Richard Rodriguez: Hunger of Memory; Days of Obligation; and Brown. Chapter Six synthesizes recent interdisciplinary scholarship on redemption stories, innovative composition strategies, and cognitive science research on autobiographical memory, evaluating James McBride's auto/biography, The Color of Water.

Recenzii
Professor McGovern has performed a remarkable feat-weaving diverse strands of interdisciplinary scholarship into an articulate and instructive whole. Scholarly pathways are deftly investigated and illuminating connections to life narratives creatively made. McGovern provides a lucid and inspiring account of what it takes to document, fully and authentically, the story of one's life. Memory's Stories is certain to find a permanent place on the bookshelves and desks of a wide range of scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences and in the syllabi of many of the courses they teach. For students who are fortunate enough to encounter it in class, it will remain among those select few that they hold onto well beyond their college years.
