    The relationship between humans and their gods has always been a primary theme in literature. Until recently, however, books in the American literary canon have rarely been concerned with any supernatural beings other than the Judeo-Christian god. In this book Bonnie Winsbro moves beyond that narrow focus to examine the power of the supernatural in the works of six ethnic writers: Lee Smith's Oral History, Louise Erdrich's Tracks, Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, Gloria Naylor's Mama Day, Toni Morrison's Beloved, and Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts. By selecting these authors, Winsbro provides a multicultural perspective - Appalachian, Native American, African American, and Chinese American - on the internal turmoil experienced by ethnic individuals when their belief systems clash with those of family, community, or dominant culture. Although their responses to such conflicts differ, Winsbro argues, all six authors believe that personal power is acquired through self-definition, the process by which one constructs one's own reality as a foundation for living in one's own center rather than on another's margins. By analyzing works that treat seriously a belief in such supernatural figures as witches, healers, and ghosts, Winsbro seeks to show that the contemporary world is not defined by one reality - a rationalistic, scientific reality, for example, or a Judeo-Christian reality - but by many realities. Indeed, acknowledging the coexistence, collision, and coalescence of multiple realities is one of the distinguishing features of postmodern life

    The relationship between humans and their gods has always been a primary theme in literature.

In this book Bonnie Winsbro moves beyond that narrow focus to examine the power of the supernatural in the works of six ethnic writers: Lee Smith's Oral History, Louise Erdrich's Tracks, Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, Gloria Naylor's Mama Day, Toni Morrison's Beloved, and Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts.

    "L'étude des rapports entre sciences humaines, ésotérisme et occultisme irrigue intrinsèquement toutes les disciplines des sciences humaines. Si les historiens, anthropologues et ethnologues ont de longue date investi ces domaines de la culture occidentale, les spécialistes de littérature ont tendance à regarder ces objets avec suspicion, même si ces derniers font intrinsèquement partie de la pensée des auteurs ou de leur bagage culturel. L'ambition de ce Cahier est donc de parcourir cette création littéraire, depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle jusqu'à l'émergence du concept de contre-culture à la fin des années 50. Pour envisager une telle perspective diachronique, l'approche littéraire est indissociable d'une histoire culturelle et des mentalités. C'est pourquoi le Cahier Mondes invisibles a été conçu comme le lieu d'un dialogue interdisciplinaire et transéculaire. Organisé en quatre volets, le Cahier aborde autant de thématiques telles que le spiritisme et les formes occultes et ésotériques qu'il revêt, au XIXe siècle, la tension dialectique entre sciences et para-sciences, les héritages ésotériques, les individualités remarquables du mouvement, ou encore les phénomènes collectifs qui ont alluvionné la création littéraire. Ce volume explore les enjeux intellectuels et culturels des mondes invisibles dans une perspective historique, littéraire et anthropologique. Il réunit une cinquantaine de contributions de spécialistes, de nombreux textes rares, dont une traduction d'un inédit de Conan Doyle, ainsi qu'une vingtaine d'illustrations."--taken from publisher website
