How has domestic life been reorganised to accommodate the new U.S. imperial ambitions? What are the consequences of empire for the people living here "at home"? This new collection of essays answers these questions by exploring the cultural, political, and economic shifts that are now under way in the United States. Encouraging a radical rethinking of what the country is today, this book highlights the connection of U.S. imperial strategies to the production of insecurity, uncertainty, and deepening inequality at home. Rethinking America also explores the instabilities and contradictions of the new imperialism from the unique vantage point of the newly emerging U.S. "homeland." Comprised of work from leading figures in the field of U.S. ethnography, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the changes taking place in the United States in the early years of the twenty-first century.
Jeff Maskovsky teaches Anthropology and Urban Studies at Queens College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He is the author most recently of New Poverty Studies: The Ethnography of Power, Politics, and Impoverishment in the United States (NYU 2001). Ida Susser is Professor of Anthropology at Hunter College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Her books include Wounded Cities (Berg 2003, coedited with Jane Schneider).
