Szukana fraza: [Abstract = "Utilizing relevant examples and excerpts from the novel, I consider how Butler situates essentialism in the lives of her characters as overlapping narratives in which her characters endeavor to establish their own ideas of race, gender, and class. Additionally, I employ narrative inquiry as my multifaceted research methodology to evaluate and to clarify Butler use of \"Wild Seed\" to move her characters from essentialism to choice."]
