Description

Features

• Nine distinguished short stories are integrated with 50 non-fiction selections, including essays, autobiographies, memoirs, and a speech.  Nearly half of the selections are by women.
• The general introduction teaches critical reading, including the reading journal, and includes a new section on the writing process.  
• Extensive apparatus includes chapter introductions and introductory quotations, biographical sketches, end-of-selection questions, and end-of-chapter questions called “Connecting Cultures,” which encourage students to explore comparisons and connections among selections.
• The rich sampling of readings bywriters who are native to the cultures they describe allows students to “hear” authentic voices rather than filtered journalistic reports.
• Appendices include a geographical index, a pronunciation guide, and a map of the world highlighting the countries mentioned in the text, and the Subject Index now includes Internet search terms for each author and selection.
• The Instructor's Manual offers teaching suggestions (“approachings”)  for each selection, bibliographies of books and periodicals, a guide to teaching short fiction and writing about films, an expanded filmography, and a list of online resources for each writer in this anthology.

New To This Edition

• Twenty-three selections new to this edition include short works of fiction by John Cheever and Shirley Saad and represent a global community of authors.  Many selections have never been previously anthologized.

• U.S. culture is viewed by 14 newly represented American writers, including Mary Brave Bird, Temple Grandin, Barbara Kantrowitz, Richard Rodriguez, Eric Schlosser, Amy Tan, Deborah Tannen, and others.  

• A new introductory section, Writing Your Essay, emphasizes the rhetorical modes and argumentation.

• 17 new illustrations, including cartoons, photographs, and other images, enhance the impact of the themes.

• A Rhetorical Contents provides instructors with flexibility of approach.

• An expanded Ch. 4 includes environmental issues, and Ch. 6 now includes social issues in America.

• Websites for further research are included in new end-of-selection activities called Extending Viewpoints through Writing and Research.
