Produktbeschreibung

"With "Waves of Decolonization," " "David Luis-Brown practices rather than prescribes a transnational American studies, going beyond the purely thematic level to engage with other languages, cultures, and literary histories. Luis-Brown presents a vast amount of literary material and many cross-cultural connections that will be unknown or little known to scholars in U.S. American studies, while he also contributes new understandings of familiar and canonical writers."--Anna Brickhouse, author of "Transamerican Literary Relations and the Nineteenth-Century Public Sphere "
