American Studies 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

field have produced new genealogies that tell different histories
of both America and the study of America.
- Charts the evolution of American Studies from the end of World
War II to the present day by showcasing the best scholarship in
this field
- An introductory essay by the distinguished editorial board
highlights developments in the field and places each essay in its
historical and theoretical context
- Explores topics such as American politics, history, culture,
race, gender and working life
- Shows how changing perspectives have enabled older concepts to emerge in a different context
