The conflict between the political and the personal, an opposition which pervades the whole of American Literature, informs the essays on twentieth-century American theater gathered in this volume. Prominent theater scholars from Europe and America address the cultural paradigm created by the clash of private needs with public expectations. The difficulty of reconciling the two has led many dramatists to turn to the complexities of intertextuality in order to express their rebellions and rejections of inherited cultural values and myths. Essays on Arthur Miller, Sam Shepard, Susan Glaspell, H.M. Koutoukas, Dolores Prida, or Suzan Lori-Parks (to name but a few of the dramatists discussed here) reflect the vibrancy of American drama and the depth of the interaction of the political with the personal.

In this nuanced revisionist history of modern American poetry, John Lowney investigates the Depression era's impact on late modernist American poetry from the socioeconomic crisis of the 1930's through the emergence of the new social movements of the 1960's. Informed by an ongoing scholarly reconsideration of 1930's American culture and concentrating on Left writers whose historical consciousness was profoundly shaped by the Depression, World War II, and the Cold War, Lowney articulates the Left's challenges to national collective memory and redefines the importance of late modernism in American

Since World War II, the American West has become the nation's military arsenal, proving ground, and disposal site. Through a wide-ranging discussion of recent literature produced in and about the West, Dirty Wars explores how the region's iconic landscapes, invested with myths of national virtue, have obscured the West's crucial role in a post-World War II age of "permanent war."

"Placing the philosopher John Dewey and the poet William Carlos Williams together - two important figures of twentieth-century American culture - this book examines the ambitions and failings of progressive liberal culture during the first half of the twentieth century. This book shows that, while their work ostensibly shares little in common, Williams and Dewey share the ambition to realize the radical potential of a democratic cultural politics. Including close readings of texts like Williams's Spring and All, In the American Grain, and Paterson, and Dewey's Individualism Old and New and Art as Experience, Beck offers an important contribution to current debates over the relationship between politics and cultural production."--BOOK JACKET.

"Quel effet ça fait d'être un problème ? " Quel effet ça fait d'être à la fois Noir et Américain, quand les deux termes sont supposés contradictoires ? C'est à travers l'examen de la notion de "double conscience" , clé de l'expérience subjective des Noirs américains, que les auteur·ice·s nous invitent à découvrir l'oeuvre magistrale et multiforme du grand intellectuel afro-américain W. E. B. Du Bois, né en 1868, peu après la fin de la guerre de Sécession, et mort en 1963, à la veille du discours de Martin Luther King Jr."I have a dream" . Leur ouvrage est la première introduction en français à cette oeuvre majeure. De son opposition à Booker T. Washington à son adhésion au marxisme, de l'expérience de la ségrégation à la conviction que le sort de la démocratie américaine se joue dans la condition des Noirs, ce livre retrace la trajectoire de W. E. B. Du Bois et nous invite à faire nôtre son héritage. La "double conscience" décrit le déchirement intérieur des Noirs américains, mais apparaît aussi comme la source d'une lucidité particulière sur la construction raciale des rapports de pouvoir.A l'heure où l'écho du mouvement Black Lives Matter se fait entendre partout, à l'heure où la notion de "race" et son articulation aux principes d'égalité et de justice suscitent les plus vifs débats, l'actualité des analyses de Du Bois est brûlante.

Early American artists and political thinkers wrestled with the challenges of forming a cohesive, if not coherent, culture and political structure to organize the young republic and its diverse peoples. The American School of Empire shows how this American idea of empire emerged through a dialogue with British forms of empire, becoming foundational to how the US organized its government and providing early Americans with the framework for thinking about the relations between states and the disparate peoples and cultures that defined them. Edward Larkin places special emphasis on the forms of the novel and history painting, which were crucial vehicles for the articulation of the American vision of empire in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
