"This superb collection demonstrates the exciting new work being done in American literary history and criticism. Its many wide-ranging, richly detailed contributions are certain to shape and extend cultural and political debates about race, class, gender, and American nationhood. "Subjects and Citizens" is among the best books of critical and cultural studies I have read."--William E. Cain, Wellesley College
