Joyce, race and Finnegans wake /Joyce, Race & 'Finnegans Wake'Len Platt. - 1 online resource (ix, 211 pages) :digital, PDF file(s).

Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

Joyce, race and racism: introduction -- 'No such race': Finnegans wake and the Aryan myth -- Celt, Teuton and Aryan -- 'Our darling breed': the Wake, social Darwinism and eugenics -- Atlanta-Arya: theosophy, race and the Wake -- 'Hung Chung Egglyfella': staged race in Ulysses and the Wake -- 'And the prankquean pulled a rosy one': filth, fascism and the family -- Race and reading: conclusion.

Len Platt charts a fresh approach through one of the great masterpieces of twentieth-century literature. Using original archival research and detailed close readings, he outlines Joyce's literary response to the racial discourse of twentieth-century politics. Platt's account is the first to position Finnegans Wake in precise historical conditions and to explore Joyce's engagement with European fascism. Race, Platt claims, is a central theme for Joyce, both in terms of the colonial and post-colonial conflicts between the Irish and the British, and in terms of its use by the extreme right. It is in this context that Joyce's engagement with race, while certainly a product of colonial relations, also figures as a wider disputation with rationalism, capitalism and modernity.
