Details: "What are the relationships among, and reciprocal mplications of, economics, politics, and literature in a society
that is the product of free market, social negotiations, and profoundly permeated with cross-cultural information? 

Each contribution of this volume is a tenacious voice that clearly invites, and validates, action. The book speaks loudly to humanists and social scientists. It stands up to power in itself within today’s climate of disappointment and frustration by articulating interpretations of outspoken expressions that did exactly the same, illo tempore."
