"In 1790, law and literature were not the totally separate disciplines we think of them as today," says Okun.
The flow of ideas back and forth was just tremendous." Okun's book shows how this flow spilled over into a spirited public debate on crime and punishment that produced not only a new kind of crime fiction, but also a new kind of law, a new kind of prison, and a new approach to crime.
"Literature is not some fluffy abstraction," he says, "it's a concrete cultural practice-it's like an artifact that shows us how people of a specific time and place thought and behaved.

 Sample Chapter for Sielke, S.: Reading Rape: The Rhetoric of Sexual Violence in American Literature and Culture, ...
Literature is central here not so much because, unlike the discourses of the social and natural sciences, it has allowed marginal voices to enter into the conversation on gender, race, and sexuality at an earlier time.
Literature may have accommodated “other” perspectives, but their otherness has nonetheless been channeled and limited by the institutional frames in which they appeared.
I do hold, however, that the analysis of literary texts is particularly revealing for a study focused on the rhetoric of rape, because, on the one hand, (some) literary texts conclusively narrativize and, by way of dispelling contradictions, manage to “naturalize” sexual violence into seemingly consensual views on gender, sexuality, and the world at large.

 Malini Johar Schueller: U.S. Orientalisms, University of Michigan Press
This book begins with an examination of the literature of the "Barbary" Orient generated by the U.S. Algerian conflict in the late eighteenth century in the works of such writers as Royall Tyler, Susanna Rowson, and Washington Irving.
It then moves on to the Near East Orientalist literature of the nineteenth century in light of Egyptology, theories of race, and the growth of missionary fervor in writers such as John DeForest, Maria Susanna Cummins, Herman Melville, Edgar Allan Poe, and Harriet Prescott Spofford.
Finally, Schueller considers the Indic Orientalism of the period in the context of Indology, British colonialism, and the push for Asian trade in the United States, focusing particularly on Emerson and Whitman.

But these theories require expanding to accommodate the perennial renewal of the melting pot (or salad bowl or mosaic) paradigm among those currently encountering the American myth of promise.
Though scholarly studies of ethnic literatures are burgeoning, none focuses exclusively on contemporary immigrant authors.
Rather, the prior criticism tends to treat American-born writers of the first generation (Maxine Hong Kingston, Any Tan, Oscar Hijuelos, Paule Marshall, et al) as more legitimate, more central to its theories of ethnic marginalization, than such actual immigrants as Walter Abish, Julia Alvarez, Eva Hoffman, Li-Young Lee, and Junot Díaz.
