Summary:

A timely, wide-ranging, expanded, and updated vocabulary for American Cultural StudiesSince its initial publication, scholars and students alike have turned to Keywords for American Cultural Studies as an invaluable resource for understanding key terms and debates in the fields of American studies and cultural studies. As scholarship has continued to evolve, this revised and expanded third edition offers indispensable meditations on new and developing concepts used in American studies, cultural studies, and beyond.Designed as a uniquely print-digital hybrid publication, this Keywords volume collects 114 essays, each focused on a single term such as "America," "culture," "diversity," or "religion." More than forty of the essays have been significantly revised for this new edition, and there are nineteen completely new keywords, including crucial additions such as "biopolitics," "data," "debt," and "intersectionality." Throughout the volume, interdisciplinary scholars explore these terms and others as nodal points in many of today's most dynamic and vexed discussions of political and social life, both inside and outside of the academy. The Keywords website features forty-eight essays not in the print volume; it also provides pedagogical tools for instructors using print and online keywords in their courses.The publication brings together essays by interdisciplinary scholars working in literary studies and political economy, cultural anthropology and ethnic studies, African American history and performance studies, gender studies and political theory. Some entries are explicitly argumentative; others are more descriptive. All are clear, challenging, and critically engaged. As a whole, Keywords for American Cultural Studies provides an accessible A-to-Z survey of prevailing academic buzzwords and a flexible tool for carving out new areas of inquiry.
