- Summary
- "Reconstructing Childhood challenges the notion of a unilateral analysis of the Bildungsroman from a paradigm that engages four strategies of reading. This interdisciplinary multicultural revision of the Bildungsroman frees it from the constraints of the European, white, middle-class, patriarchal tradition, taking into account significant cultural, gender, socioeconomic, ethnic, racial, and generational aspects that the traditional model excludes. As such, it is a critique of the grand narrative of coming of age."--Jacket.
