    Abstract:
    In Philip Roth’s The Human Stain (2000) and Percival Everett’s Erasure (2001) multiculturalism is described as moralistic and essentialist; both novels present black American male protagonists who feel victimized by multiculturalism. Although critics have maintained that the two novels present a universalist view of American identity, in this chapter, the argument is made that the novels’ implicit criticism of multiculturalism is better understood in transcultural terms.
