- Title
"The Love of Colour in Me": Anzia Yezierska's "Bread Givers" and the Space of White Racial Manufacture.
- Authors
Simpson, II, Tyrone R.
- Abstract
Presents literary criticism for the novel "Bread Givers" by Anzia Yezierska, particularly relations between whites and Jewish immigrants in New York City during the 1920s. The novel's heroine, Sara Smolinsky, in her growth from a Jewish immigrant to a young American woman embodies the "spatialization of race" that created a distance between people of different ethnicities.
