Description

A nuanced exploration of cultural appropriation and its impact on literature. In Appropriate, Paisley Rekdal addresses the complex debate surrounding cultural appropriation in writing. How do we define this concept, and what are the implications for authors? This thought-provoking work examines the evolution of cultural appropriation in our political climate, considering writers from different backgrounds and perspectives. Rekdal offers a lucid and reflective framework for understanding fluctuating literary power and authorial privilege, shedding light on issues such as whiteness and empathy. A generous new perspective on this contentious subject, Appropriate presents a compelling exploration of the complexities involved.
