Melanie U. Pooch

Based on the structured analysis of selected North American novels, this work examines global cities as a literary phenomenon (¬ªDiverCity¬´). By analyzing Dionne Brand‚Äôs Toronto, ¬ªWhat We All Long For¬´ (2005), Chang-rae Lee‚Äôs New York, ¬ªNative Speaker¬´ (1995), and Karen Tei Yamashita‚Äôs Los Angeles, ¬ªTropic of Orange¬´ (1997), Melanie U. Pooch provides the connecting link for exploring the triad of globalization and its effects, global cities as cultural nodal points, and cultural diversity in a globalizing age as a literary phenomenon. Thus, she contributes to a global, interdisciplinary, and multi-perspectival understanding of literature, culture, and society.
