Analysis and Reflection on America Is In The Heart

Analysis and Reflection on America Is In The Heart Order Description Analyze and reflect on Carlos Bulosan�s autobiography America Is In The Heart (1943), fcentury and their encounters with American racism. Yet the narrative moves beyond simply a telling of race and race relations. The central figures are workers and men, and America Is In The Heart simultaneously foregrounds issues of class and issues of gender. Given these three main themes (race, class, and gender), think about which of them best describes America Is In The Heart. Can the book best be described as a story of race relations? As a story of class relations? Or as a story of gender relations? Think also about which of these categories is the least fitting descriptor�race, class, or gender. Then write a 750 word essay (approximately 3 pages) in which you rank these three themes (race, class, gender) from most fitting to least fitting. In other words, which theme (race, class, or gender) best describes Bulosan�s narrative, and why? Which theme is the second- best description, and why? And which theme is the third-best description of the book, and why? Your analysis should explain WHY you decided to rank them in the particular order that you chose�that is, why theme �A� is the most fitting, why theme �B� is less fitting than �A,� but more fitting than �C�, and why theme �C� is the least fitting, in your opinion.
