Reviews

"Scholars have increasingly asserted the constructed nature of national identities, but Hamscha extends that notion to produce a deconstructive reading of 'America' as a performed cultural identity that is haunted by its silenced voices and also rearticulated through their constant challenges to the dominant imaginary. . . . Hamscha's work engages productively with theories of nation, identity, and form to disrupt easy understanding of America and its many productions. Recommended."--D. E.
