    This volume collects essays that push the study of transatlantic connections between nineteenth-century U.S. and Spanish literature past the boundaries of the small coterie of Hispanists typically conceived as the canon in this area of study

  • - Critical Imaginaries for a Global Age
     
    82,00 €

    This volume, by recognizing the complexity of cultural production in both its diasporic and national contexts, seeks a nuanced critical approach in order to look ahead to the future of transnational literary studies. The majority of the chapters, written by literary and ethnic studies scholars, analyze ethnic literatures of the United States which, given the nation¿s history of slavery and immigration, form an integral part of mainstream American literature today. While the primary focus is literary, the chapters analyze their specific topics from perspectives drawn from several disciplines, including cultural studies and history. This book is an exciting and insightful resource for scholars with interests in transnationalism, American literature and ethnic studies.
