American Studies has long been a home for adventurous students seeking to understand the culture and politics of the United States. Despite being taught in universities around the world, American Studies has resisted developing a coherent methodology for fear of losing the flexibility and freedom to imagine new avenues of thought. But what if these fears are misplaced? Through a fresh look at the origins of the field, this book contends that a shared set of "rules" can offer a springboard to creativity. American Studies: A User's Guide offers readers a critical introduction to the history and methods of the field, useful strategies for interpretation, curation, analysis, and theory, and case studies of American Studies in practice.
Philip J. Deloria is the Carroll Smith-Rosenberg Collegiate Professor of American Culture and History at the University of Michigan.

Olson is an Assistant Professor in the Mahurin Honors College at Western Kentucky University, where he teaches history and social justice. His research examines creativity and place in American intellectual history.
