The United States has been the place of many encounters between communities speaking different languages, and many American writers have tried to represent those encounters. Some representations reveal positive possibilities. All too many, though, depend on oppressions and distortions. In this talk, Lawrence Rosenwald, Anne Pierce Rogers Professor of American Literature, Wellesley College, first critiques some scenes of oppression and distortion, and then celebrates some scenes of utopian possibility.
