An essential and field-defining resource, this volume brings fresh approaches to major US novels, poetry, and performance literature of the twentieth century. With sections on 'structures', 'movements', 'attachments', and 'imaginaries', this handbook brings a new set of tools and perspectives to the rich and diverse traditions of American literary production. The editors have turned to leading as well as up-and-coming scholars in the field to foreground methodological concerns that assess the challenges of transnational perspectives, critical race and indigenous studies, disability and care studies, environmental criticism, affect studies, gender analysis, media and sound studies, and other cutting-edge approaches. The 20 original chapters include the discussion of working-class literature, border narratives, children's literature, novels of late-capitalism, nuclear poetry, fantasies of whiteness, and Native American, African American, Asian American, and Latinx creative texts.

"Tells the life of Amelie Rives, a talented, privileged young woman who was one of the most famous women in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century. This account of Rives's substantial literary career and her personal saga provides insights into the limits imposed on and actions taken by ambitious, elite young women in the late nineteenth-century South. Censer contextualizes Rives's writings and actions within an American society and culture that were rapidly changing between 1880 and the 1920s and explores the ways in which she challenged and followed the gender conventions of her day"--

Les conquistadors, premiers explorateurs et colonisateurs de l'Amérique latine, sont devenus un sujet de légendes et de cauchemars. En leur temps, ils furent glorifiés en aventuriers héroïques, propageant la culture chrétienne et contribuant à bâtir un empire comme le monde n'en avait encore jamais vu, pour le compte de l'empereur Charles Quint et de ses successeurs. Aujourd'hui, à l'inverse, ils figurent l'emblème de la cruauté et de l'exploitation. Ces hommes, parmi les premiers génocidaires, ont décimé les civilisations pluriséculaires des Aztèques et des Incas et commis des atrocités sans nom dans leur quête d'or et de gloire.

This book introduces Asian American literary studies by engaging the conditions, contingencies, and immediate and long-term effects of its major debates. Two rationales inform Ling's presentation of the field in this way: first is a felt need to provide recognizable contours and trajectories for the evolution of Asian American criticism as an ethnic-specific minoritarian formation in the United States; second is an imperative to historicize its practices-including polemics, controversies, and ideological ruptures-as an ongoing negotiation undertaken by Asian American critics for a more self-conscious and more adequate representation of the field's interests. These rationales are fully contextualized in the book's Introduction and Conclusion. The main body of this study is organized non-chronologically into eight chapters, with each designed to reflect how the field has been energized by its demographic transformation, its growing intellectual heterogeneity, its defining moments, and its cross-cutting relationship with the trends in other disciplines. What has emerged and been given prominence to in the surveys and discussions of this book then constitute the essential criticism of Asian American literary studies, a discourse almost five decades in the making when examined retrospectively
