Summary:

Editor Davis (English, City U. of Hong Kong) and 13 contributors address the concept of transnationalism (simply put, operating beyond national borders) in the context of American cultural production, how it was influenced and what it was influenced by, how it is viewed outside the country, how American sensibilities have been influenced by globalization, and more. They also address how culture and its evolution filter through things like music, film, and literature--and how those are seen as representing American culture both within and outside the country. Numerous films and books are used as focal points for discussions. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
