"Cane" and Its Discontents.
Dyck, Reginald
Eureka Studies In Teaching Short Fiction, v1 n1 p57-73 Fall 2000
Explores how the issue of race is enmeshed in a complex web of social relations that also include love, sex, gender, economics, and violence. Suggests how a consideration of modernist primitivism and Sigmund Freud's ideas on the individual's relationship to society can provide frameworks for further analysis of two of the stories in Jean Toomer's "Cane."
