Identity in E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime - Identity in E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime      Written almost thirty years ago, describing an age far removed from its own, E.L. Doctorow's novel Ragtime nevertheless explores issues of identity and ethnicity that still face America in spite of its lofty ideals of individualism and diversity.  It displays for the reader a rich and hypnotic portrayal of the soul of immigrant America, yet still fails to avoid ethnic bias in certain subtle ways.  Whether the lapses into feelings of cultural superiority originate from the purposeful portrayal of the characters Doctorow created or without the author's conscious prior awareness, a careful reading of the text will reveal them.  In this way, these same assumptions and prejudices test our own.  As Ragtime delineates between ethnic identities that are understood to be like children or animals and noble races that are simply misunderstood, it holds a clear mirror up to the reader's own assumptions of identity and ethnicity....   [tags: Ragtime] :: 2 Works Cited	1095 words (3.1 pages)	Strong Essays	[preview]

Europeans then began migrating in mass to this ‘new world’ dividing up the lands of the aboriginals into nations.
