Believing that American multiculturalism should go beyond the geographical limits, Ishmael Reed in Mumbo Jumbo (1972) argues that the on-going American multicultural movement should be reconsidered not in a particular site like New York but in American society as whole. His ways of describing the self-inclusive and self-evolving movement of “Jew Grew” toward the West Coast and the undetermined meanings of “The Book of Thoth” are his symbolic attempts to describe American multiculturalism as the complexity and hybridity of different cultures, and the multiculturalism is not fettered by geographical convention. While considering the West Coast as an ideal place to produce American multiculturalism, Reed metaphorically uses the site in a way to extend the notion of American multiculturalism at the much more nationwide level. In doing so, Reed recreates his own notion of multiculturalism that can be separated from the heritage of the New York-centered multicultural movement in the 1920s.
Abstract
Believing that American multiculturalism should go beyond the geographical limits, Ishmael Reed in Mumbo Jumbo (1972) argues that the on-going American multicultural movement should be reconsidered not in a particular site like New York but in American society as whole. His ways of describing the self-inclusive and self-evolving movement of “Jew Grew” toward the West Coast and the undetermined meanings of “The Book of Thoth” are his symbolic attempts to describe American multiculturalism as the complexity and hybridity of different cultures, and the multiculturalism is not fettered by geographical convention. While considering the West Coast as an ideal place to produce American multiculturalism, Reed metaphorically uses the site in a way to extend the notion of American multiculturalism at the much more nationwide level. In doing so, Reed recreates his own notion of multiculturalism that can be separated from the heritage of the New York-centered multicultural movement in the 1920s.
