"Sarah Winnemucca’s Transnational Authority in "Life among the Piutes: "Their Wrongs and Claims" (1883)
In her role as "the Piute Princess," both onstage and in local and national political theaters, Sarah Winnemucca would present herself as the first feminine leader of the diverse bands of the Northern Paiutes. Sarah Winnemucca's self-fashioning as a Paiute leader, language translator, military negotiator, political mediator, stage performer, literary author, and educator is well known, and yet she is rarely acknowledged for the extraordinary dive…

O Carib Isle!” or “Scattered Moluccas”? Édouard Glissant’s Pacific relation
Édouard Glissant is well known for his theorization of the Caribbean’s key role in our understanding of the Atlantic world, but little attention has been paid to his interest in the Pacific. This essay considers how his remarks on the Federated States of Micronesia and its economic and political dependence on the USA in the 1970s contribute to twenty-first-century theories of transpacific studies. Glissant’s interpretation of the relation between…
Trump Today
During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump vowed to “Make America Great Again” by way of a new isolationism of the US. In the first 100 days of his presidency, he has restricted immigration, pursued aggressively the deportation of undocumented immigrants, and drastically reduced the US State Department. Judged in terms of transnational American Studies, his policies have employed a new nationalism to disguise a one-way global agenda. Trump’s …

John Carlos Rowe’s “Transpacific Studies and the Cultures of U.S. Imperialism” focuses on the disciplinary role transpacific studies should play in the new American studies with its emphasis on comparative study of the Americas.

He locates the efforts by formerly colonize…
Transpacific Studies: Framing an Emerging Field
Racial Blackness and the Discontinuity of Western Modernity
This book is the unfinished manuscript of literary and cultural theorist Lindon Barrett, who died in 2008. The study offers a genealogy of how the development of racial blackness within the mercantile capitalist system of Euro-American colonial imperialism was constitutive of Western modernity. The book explores the complex transnational systems of economic transactions and political exchanges foundational to the formation of modern subjectivitie…
Cultural Politics of the New American Studies
In The Cultural Politics of the New American Studies, leading American Studies scholar John Carlos Rowe responds to two urgent questions for intellectuals. First, how did neoliberal ideology use the issues of feminism, gay rights, multiculturalism, transnationalism and globalization, class mobility, religious freedom, and freedom of speech and cultural expression to justify a new -American Exceptionalism,- designed to support U.S. economic, polit…

Edward Said and American Studies
Edward Said contributed to American Studies as a critical theorist who stressed comparative and interdisciplinary methods, as a cultural critic who challenged the U.S. as a traditional and neo-imperialist power, and as a public intellectual who represented the historical diversity of the Arab world in response to Orientalist caricatures.

Post-Nationalist American Studies
Post-Nationalist American Studies seeks to revise the cultural nationalism and celebratory American exceptionalism that tended to dominate American Studies in the Cold War era. The goal of the book's contributors is a less insular, more trans-national, comparative approach to American Studies, one that questions dominant American myths rather than canonizes them. Articulating new ways to think about American Studies, these essays demonstrate how …

Curricula and scholarship in Studies have changed significantly over the past decade, reflecting the important influences of women's studies, ethnic studies, postmodern and postcolonial theories. Earlier approaches, such as the Puritan Origins and Myth-and-Symbol schools, attempted to elaborate those features of identity and social organization that are unique national characteristics. Often implicit in this nationalist approach to the study of U…

The Symbolization of Milly Theale: Henry James's The Wings of the Dove
For Henry James, the death of his cousin, Minny Temple, was the end of a chapter in his life. It is the fitting end to the impressions of his own youth gathered in Notes of a Son and Brother: Much as this cherished companion's presence among us had represented for William and myself-and it is on his behalf I especially speak-her death made a mark that must stand here for a too waiting conclusion. We felt it together as the end of our youth.1 In t…

They succeed in achieving their aims because their author has read and assimilated everything of importance relating his subject, has carried on an intense, loving involvement with the literature he writes about, and is gifted with a sharply focused critical mind, continually insisting that whatever filaments of knowledge and insight be woven into a web of meaning must be drawn from the texts themselves.
