Passage 2Jackson's use of ethnicity to judge African Hispanic literature
The question

Richard L. Jackson's most recent book, Black Writers(461 more words not shown)

Which one of the following(21 more words not shown)

Reading the passage

Now we do need Jackson's North American approach, rather than the writer's criticism. It treats African Hispanic literature as culturally autonomous and places special weight on the group's own experience.

What we’re looking for

Transferred to painting, I'd expect a study centered on ethnic Hungarians themselves. We need to preserve that approach, even if another method sounds more appealing.

Working the answers

  • A

    Including foreigners living in Hungary substitutes shared residence for the focus on the ethnic group's own expression.

  • B
    Correct

    Ethnic Hungarians match the authors studied, and their unique style matches the account of a culturally independent literature with distinctive forms and subjects (paragraph 2). Both halves fit the approach.

  • C

    This includes non-Hungarians and bases the study on audience popularity. Neither matches the emphasis on the creators' ethnic experience and distinctive expression.

  • D

    Conformity to worldwide movements stresses shared patterns rather than the group's cultural autonomy.

  • E

    Universal human concerns likewise shift away from what distinguishes the group's experience. Studying only ethnic Hungarians doesn't make the match complete if the study asks the wrong question about their work.
