Vol. 2, No. 1, Spring 2010
MULTICULTURALISM:
In Search of a New Perspective

Features essays by Marie Arana, David Zinser, Marc Crane and David M. Wulf; interviews on Lawson Fusao Inada and Tara Betts, and A. Robert Lee. Featuring poets from the U.S., Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, Guam, Japan, the Philippines and Israel.

REVIEW: “The Spring 2010 issue of phati’tude is a retrospective of multiculturalism as it has developed over the past 30 years. There are interviews with veterans of the curriculum wars of the ’80s and ’90s. Lawson Fusao Inada, a Japanese-American writer and educator, has been involved with the West Coast poetry scene since the 1960s. A. Robert Lee is a British Professor of American Literature, has been writing about multiculturalism since the 1980s. For Inada and Lee, multiculturalism is a community with a common set of reference points: Ishmael Reed and Maxine Hong Kingston, to name only two. A lively and interesting literary community has always been one of the prime attractions of multiculturalism. While the phati’tude editors are open to contributions in all literary forms, poetry dominates the Spring issue. There’s a fine poem from Heid Erdrich, the sister of poet and novelist Louise Erdrich, and a pair of contributions from Lawson Fusao Inada. Jaime “Shaggy” Flores’ “Letter of the Day” is impassioned, like a lot of the work in the issue, and also inventive. Also not to be missed is Gabrielle David’s sensitive and learned reviews of poetry collections. . . . Hopefully, future issues of phati’tude will address the next challenges of the great American experiment in a pluralistic society. Multiculturalism is an endless conversation, and that conversation is as important now as it has ever been.”

—Walter Benjamin, One Way Street

“It is the most complete compilation of Native writing that I’ve seen. It’s more than a magazine or journal, but a whole book. To describe it as an anthology is not enough; it’s a book of Indian writing that is the most complete example of what is going on presently. . . this is what’s possible when it’s no longer an abstract idea/concept/notion but is something concrete and real as phati’tude.”

— Simon Ortiz, Acoma Pueblo, Poet/Author/Teacher

I am convinced that it will be enthusiastically received. It has the potential to be used as an anthology in classrooms and to be useful for years to come . . . . Quite simply, this is a terrific collection!”

— Joseph Bruchac, Abenaki, Poet/Writer/Storyteller
