'High-Topped Shoes' and Other Signifiers of Race Class Gender and Ethnicity in Selected Fiction by William Faulkner and Toni Morrison

Focusing primarily on selected fiction by William Faulkner and Toni Morrison this book explores the myths embedded in historical and modern artifacts such as the high-topped shoe and high-heeled slipper and their impact on the construction of ethnic and gender roles. Combining anthropology and women's studies this work is an interesting new study of race gender class and ethnicity in literature.
