| Through very different bildungsromane, these authors illustrate the ways in which ethnic marginalization and a sense of not having been able to achieve the celebrated "American Dream" lead their protagonists to violence and criminal behavior, as a strategy of survival. The Bildungsromane of these authors, then, offer a process through which the protagonists find their voices; thus, African American vernacular and folkloric genres are central to her study as sites of inspiration, community, and silencing. Bright lights, college courses, economic development, advances in science and the arts-these are among the good things traditionally and understandably sought by protagonists of Bildungsromane, whether set in Minnesota or elsewhere. |
