American literature has a rich potential for delivering the narratives of the American people, who are often confined by their race, ethnicity, gender, social class, economic situation, or, in very simple terms, by the conditions of their birth. In this context, the volume focuses on the confinement narratives within the products of literature, with a wide array of chapters from different periods of American literary history.
