Reviews

"Globalizing American Studies is strikingly ambitious, aspiring to something more than the usual collection of 'postnational' or 'hemispheric' approaches to the field. The twelve essays, from scholars in film and postcolonial studies as well as Latin American and Middle Eastern studies and with case studies from fields not typically represented under the American studies rubric, are rigorously interdisciplinary, innovatively comparative, and theoretically integrated in their differing conceptions of the international impulse of American studies."--Susan Gillman, University of California, Santa Cruz

"A timely collection that will receive a good deal of critical attention within the academic worlds of American studies, cultural studies, and comparative literature. There can be little doubt of the volume's currency." --Paul Giles, University of Sydney-- "Paul Giles"
