Imagining Our Americas Toward a Transnational Frame

"Sandhya Shukla and Heidi Tinsman have put together a remarkable volume that takes the reader in surprising scholarly directions. The essays stage vital conversations between the Pacific Rim and Latin America through the vector of U. S. empire; between black diaspora and mestizaje through the comparative calculus of race; between queer, feminist histories and Cold War politics in the crucible of the Caribbean. This volume represents the next wave of scholarship in transnational American studies, one in which the coordinates have necessarily shifted beyond the geographical confines of 'the Americas' but which is ever-focused on relations of power."-MarÍa Josefina SaldaÑa-Portillo, author ofThe Revolutionary Imagination in the Americas and the Age of DevelopmentShukla, Sandhya is the author of 'Imagining Our Americas Toward a Transnational Frame', published 2007 under ISBN 9780822339618 and ISBN 0822339617.
