When invasions go unnoticed
Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii , likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey across 17 European countries ( n = 1388), to assess public knowledge, perceptions and views on its mana…
The Cambridge Companion to American Utopian Literature and Culture since 1945
Providing a comprehensive overview of American thought in the period following World War II, after which the US became a global military and economic leader, this book explores the origins of American utopianism and provides a trenchant critique from the point of view of those left out of the hegemonic ideal. Centring the voices of those oppressed by or omitted from the consumerist American Dream, this book celebrates alternative ways of thinking…
White Power and American Neoliberal Culture
White Power and American Neoliberal Culture
Race and Utopian Desire in American Literature and Society
Introduction
While at the beginning of 2018 the success of Ryan Coogler's film Black Panther suggested a widespread desire to witness an Afrofuturistic utopia, that desire—or perhaps even need—has not always been acknowledged. Today, however, the film is one marker of a growing interest in expressions that speak to the combination of the utopian and the racial imaginaries.1 However, if Black Panther has inspired interest in utopia, there has simultaneously be…
Dystopian Eating, Queer Liberalism, and the Roots of Donald Trump in HBO 's Angels in America
Neoliberal Culture
Departing from the conventional understanding of neoliberalism as a set of economic and political policies favoring free markets, Neoliberal Culture presents a framework for analyzing neoliberalism in the United States as a culture-or structure of feeling- which shapes American everyday life. The book proposes five 'components' as the keys to any study of American neoliberal culture: biopower, corporatocracy, globalization, the erosion of welfare…
Global Appetites
Looking at past reviews of books of literary criticism and food, I was struck by Choice's comments on a text published a mere fifteen years ago: “Even a quick review of contemporary volumes on food and literary criticism reveals a sort of sheepish, amused treatment of the subject, as if it were too light a topic to explore in a really serious book.”1 From this perspective, the relevance of food in literary studies as well as most other fields is …
Buying into Fair Trade
Globalization and the American South
In 1955 the Forbes magazine list of America's largest corporations included just 18 with headquarters in the Southeast. By 2002 the number had grown to 123. In fact, the South attracted over half of the foreign businesses drawn to the United States in the 1990s. The eight original essays collected here consider this stunning dynamism in ways that help us see anew the region's place in that ever-accelerating, transnational flow of people, capital,…
