| an interesting point (as has been this thread so thanks) though I think the Hamilton example is not a great one because it is actually very much about being a minority in a majority world, and more particularly about finding a unique way of embracing and "owning" that world without deferring to it. I think it is still very hard to put a non-majority character in a literary work in America without that status having any significance. (And of course all of this is a tangent of the many threads about color-blindness, which is part of what makes this interesting.) |
