US scholars of English, history, women's studies, and other disciplines tackle a number of issues relating to African Americans, Latinas, Asian-Americans, and Native Americans. A unifying theme is that contemporary life is a border-crossing, a mixing of races and classes that has led to the complexities of life in America for both Anglo women and women of color.
