Sleuthing Ethnicity: The Detective in Multiethnic Crime FictionEdited by Dorothea Fischer-Hornung and Monika Mueller
About the Editors:
Dorothea Fischer-Hornung is Senior Lecturer at the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Monika Mueller is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Cologne, Germany.
During the last two decades, detective fiction has emerged as a literary field worthy of academic attention. Sleuthing Ethnicity: The Detective in Multiethnic Crime Fiction reflects the fact that ethnic detective novels have by now become an accepted subgenre of detective fiction. The essays collected in this volume focus on the characteristics of ethnic detective fiction and the genre modifications effected by it. The essays reflect established issues of ethnic detective fiction but also move beyond them by focusing on wider topics: the intersection of ethnicity and gender; marketing strategies for ethnic mysteries; juvenile ethnic detective literature; changing sexual politics; and historical issues of ethnic crime. The additional focus of this collection of essays on recent international ethnic detective fiction outside of the United States redirects attention to questions of authenticity, authority, and stereotyping.ISBN 0-8386-3979-8, Price $55.00
