- Summary:
- The present volume brings together selected proceedings of the 2005 Cleveland State University Symposium "Crossing Over: Learning to Navigate the Borderlands of Intercultural Encounters." The collection of essays offers some samples of the complex and potentially infinite array of investigations that the newly expanded field of 'Border Studies' can add to the academy's scholarly enterprise. The articles collected in this volume demonstrate innovative approaches to comparative explorations of topics in American, Latin-American, European, and Post-Colonial literature as well as Linguistics, History and Education.
