What do Charlie Chan and William Faulkner have in common? This study starts out from the assumption that there may well be a continuity between literature and popular culture in the racialized images they perpetuate. Looking at twentieth century American literature, film, music, and art, this book suggests that strategies of exclusion and of resistance are mutually constitutive. Where a 1920s Western audience yearned for exoticism, Josephine Baker donned a scanty costume of bird feathers and enchanted a white audience by singing to them from within a gilded cage. Looking at African American, Asian American, Chicano/a, and Native American cultural productions as constituting a rainbow coalition, this study seeks to chart out the terrain of a multi-ethnic nation, a nation to which, as El Vez, the Mexican Elvis, asserts, everyone is welcome - even the mainstream itself.

This is a time seemingly without borders, an era of an unprecedented flow of goods, capital, and labor. It is a time, also, in which the very boundaries of our disciplines have fissured out, encompassing spaces well beyond the nation-state. This volume sets out to explore what this opening up of national borders may mean for the disciplines of both American and Canadian studies. At the same time, there may be a need for caution. The credo of a transnational American or Canadian studies may run the risk of glossing over the ways in which particularly after September 11, 2001, borders are being policed, and of losing sight of the specificities attached to citizenship rights or their absence. The denationalization of North American Studies may hence be a deeply ambivalent concept. It may be moored in realities which drive home the point that the nation state is far from obsolete; yet, it may also point at the way in which particularly in the area of minority studies, the transcending of national borders and the forging of transnational alliances could not be more fruitful. Finally, the volume seeks to explore the meaning of "Americanness." At a time when both global politics and popular culture seem to be defined by a seeming ubiquity of the US, other spaces and cultural productions run the risk of being mere copies, of being "virtually American" rather than originals in their own right. This, too, needs to be reassessed in order to arrive, perhaps, at a more dialogic understanding of what "America" may mean in the world today.

In the early twenty-first century, the concept of citizenship is more contested than ever. As refugees set out to cross the Mediterranean, European nation-states refer to »cultural integrity« and »immigrant inassimilability,« revealing citizenship to be much more than a legal concept. The contributors to this volume take an interdisciplinary approach to considering how cultures of citizenship are being envisioned and interrogated in literary and cultural (con)texts. Through this framework, they attend to the tension between the citizen and its spectral others - a tension determined by how a country defines difference at a given moment.
