| Abstract
|
:
|
The discipline of American studies was established in the early days of World War II and drew on the myth of American exceptionalism. Now that the so-called American Century has come to an end, what would a truly globalized version of American studies look like? Brian T. Edwards and Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar offer a new standard for the field's transnational aspiration with Globalizing American Studies . The essays here offer a comparative, multilingual, or multisited approach to ideas and representations of America.
