歴史・文化・政治・人種・ジェンダー・労働など、アメリカ研究の全分野にわたる59編の論文を精選収録する、最新動向のショーケース。巽孝之・慶應義塾大学文学部教授による”Waiting for Godzilla: Towards a Globalist Theme Park”を含む。This is a vigorous, bold account of the changes in the field of American Studies over the last thirty-five years. Through this set of carefully selected key essays by an editorial board of expert scholars, the book demonstrates how changes in the field have produced new genealogies that tell different histories of both America and the study of America.
