The Cambridge Companion to American Literature and Empire
The story of American literature and empire goes beyond the broad historical periodization of empire to reimagine that history. The central terms American and literature have always been tied up in US empire as well as other empires in the Americas. The word 'America,' itself the product of inter-imperial intellectual rivalry, claims the name of an entire hemisphere for one country therein. To understand the full history of American literature an…

En Homenaje a Latinx Studies
This short essay was written in the days after white supremacists and neo-Nazis invaded the campus of the University of Virginia and downtown Charlottesville, many of them heavily armed and dressed for combat. After offering a brief reflection on how Latino/a/x studies shaped her scholarly trajectory as someone not trained in this field as a graduate student, the author asks how the field can help reimagine this particular political moment. The e…
The Unsettlement of America: Translation, Interpretation, and the Story of Don Luis de Velasco, 1560-1945
This book explores the career and legacy of Don Luis de Velasco, an early modern indigenous translator of the sixteenth-century Atlantic world who traveled far and wide and experienced nearly a decade of Western civilization before acting decisively against European settlement. The book attends specifically to the interpretive and knowledge-producing roles played by Don Luis as a translator, acting not only in Native-European contact zones but in…
L'Ouragan de Flammes" ("The Hurricane of Flames): New Orleans and Transamerican Catastrophe, 1866/2005
This essay takes its cue from a nineteenth-century New Orleans poem, "Pour les Incendiés de Saint Domingue," which was dedicated to the victims of a great fire that burned Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1866. Reading both the poem and the disaster it memorialized as productive lenses upon the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the author seeks to understand the 1866 fire and the 2005 hurricane as instances of transamerican catastrophe: disasters that were…
Inter-American Literary Dialogues: Mixing Race, Mixing Culture
Transamerican Literary Relations and the Nineteenth-Century Public Sphere
This wide-ranging comparative study argues for a fundamental reassessment of the literary history of the nineteenth-century United States within the transamerican and multilingual contexts that shaped it. Drawing on an array of texts in English, French and Spanish by both canonical and neglected writers and activists, Anna Brickhouse investigates interactions between US, Latin American and Caribbean literatures. Her many examples and case studies…

Nella Larsen and the Intertextual Geography of Quicksand
Toward middle of her 1928 novel Quicksand, Nella Larsen thematizes her authorial relation to past in scene that uncannily adumbrates future demise of her career. Larsen's protagonist, Helga Crane, pores over writing of her new employer, Mrs. Hayes-Rore, prominent lecturer on the race problem who has hired Helga to edit her speeches. But lectures, as Helga interprets them, proved to be of others' speeches and opinions. As she puts her own hand to …
