{"product_id":"transnational-narration","title":"Transnational Na(rra)tion","description":"This book examines American literary texts whose portrayal of \"American\" identity involves the incorporation of a \"foreign body\" as the precondition for a comprehensive understanding of itself. This nexus of disconcerting textual dynamics arises precisely insofar as both citizen\/subject and national identity depend upon a certain alterity, an \"other\" which constitutes the secondary term of a binary structure. \"American\" identity thus finds itself ironically con-fused and interwoven with another culture or another nation, double-crossed in the enactment of itself. Individual chapters are devoted to Benjamin Franklin, Washington Irving, Frederick Douglass, Louisa May Alcott, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Mark Twain.","brand":"Associated University Presses","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54235594686808,"sku":"9781611478174","price":54.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781611478174.jpg?v=1769803240","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/transnational-narration","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
