It is noted that the 'committee approach to soc problemsolving' tends to exclude artists & writers from such committees. Yet both art & writing are seen as capable of making an important contribution to an individual's racial & soc identity. The present black cultural revolution in the US stresses the primacy of black consciousness. Literature can be used both as a means of expressing racial identity & as a means of expressing a more personal identity. In broadening the conception of reality, art has a natural tendency to make people more aware of other life styles & more tolerant of diversity. In literature one tends to understand first & judge later. It is in the area of race relations that the skills & perceptions which are developed & sharpened by the study of imaginative literature can come into full play. But whatever racial insights can be gained from such involvement must always be regarded in the context of a total literary experience-racial understanding being only a component of aa larger psychol'al awareness. The scope of the black literature curriculum, whether focusing on African, West Indian, or Amer black literature, should include not only imaginative literature written in the traditional genres -the novel, the short story, poetry, & the drama-but should also include `non-literary' forms such as the folktale, which has so influenced the style & content of more formal black literary expression, or the blues. The emphasis is on works of the imagination; the appeal is to the imagination. Somehow the gap between the races must be bridged. It will take an extraordinary effort on the part of the imagination of people everywhere. M. Maxfield.

Abstract: In "Peripheralities: 'Minor' Literatures, Women's Literature, and Adrienne Orosz de Csicser's Novels" Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek discusses events surrounding Adrienne Orosz de Csicser's (1878-1934) work. For the contextualization
of the events Tötösy de Zepetnek employs his own framework of "comparative cultural studies" here applied to "minor literatures" (i.e., peripheral) and women's literature and Shunqing Cao's "variation theory." While Orosz's novels are
not considered exceptional, the author achieved notoriety after locked up in a mental institution. In addition to three published novels, in an unpublished novel (excerpts of which she read at various literary and social gatherings) Orosz narrates her love affair with a Roman Catholic bishop.
Knowledge about her novel's contents resulted in the bishop orchestrating Orosz's commitment to a mental hospital. The context in which Orosz's texts are located in is the socio-political situation in Hungarian society prior to and shortly after the First World War.
