Departing from conventional narratives of the United States and the
Americas as fundamentally continental spaces, the contributors to
Archipelagic American Studies theorize America as constituted by
and accountable to an assemblage of interconnected islands,
archipelagoes, shorelines, continents, seas, and oceans. They trace
these planet-spanning archipelagic connections in essays on topics
ranging from Indigenous sovereignty to the work of Edouard
Glissant, from Philippine call centers to US militarization in the
Caribbean, and from the great Pacific garbage patch to enduring
overlaps between US imperialism and a colonial Mexican archipelago.
Shaking loose the straitjacket of continental exceptionalism that
hinders and permeates Americanist scholarship, Archipelagic
American Studies asserts a more relevant and dynamic approach for
thinking about the geographic, cultural, and political claims of
the United States within broader notions of America. Contributors
