This authoritative and challenging collection describes and debates
postcolonialism as it applies to America. Investigating topics such
as law and public policy, immigration and tourism, narratives and
discourses, race relations, and virtual communities, scholars from
a wide array of disciplines clarify and challenge prevailing
conceptualizations of postcolonialism and accepted understandings
of American culture.
Advancing multiple, even conflicted visions of postcolonial
America, this volume interrogates postcolonial theory, traces the
emergence and significance of postcolonial practices and precepts
in the United States, and details the manner in which the uneven
relations central to the crystallization of postcoloniality have
informed and changed American identities and institutions.
Contributors discuss how the unique status of the United States
as the colony that became a superpower has shaped its sense of
itself. They assess the global networks of inequality that have
displaced neocolonial systems of conquest, exploitation, and
occupation. They also examine how individuals and groups use music,
the Internet, and other media to reconfigure, reinvent, and resist
postcoloniality in American culture.
Candidly facing the inherent contradictions of "the American
experience", this collection demonstrates the patterns,
connections, and histories characteristic of postcoloniality in
America and initiates important discussions about how these
conditions might be changed.
