Multiculturalism and the Widened Canon

The idea
The witness names scholars who supply the context for multiethnic literature, Lawrence Levine and Ronald Takaki, and places August Wilson's cycle alongside the novels of Walker, Wideman and Morrison. The reading list the exam tests was rebuilt in those two decades.
In practice
A reading list rebuilt in twenty years.
Where people slip
The exam's fifth period reflects that rebuilding.
