This book explores what it means to study America in the 21st century and what the emergence of the field of New Area Studies means for the development of American Studies.
Analysing the meaning of interdisciplinarity, aesthetics, temporality and periodization, this book reveals both fields of study through the lens of interdisciplinary cases studies, innovative methodologies and a global perspective. Exploring the imagined geographies of America across space and time, the book rethinks the meaning and production of place, and questions what —and where—it means to study America now.
Addressing the key issues of nation, place and people in this new disciplinary moment, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of American Studies and Area Studies.
