This study engages with the emerging field of energy humanities to
provide close readings of several early American oriental-observer
tales. The popular genre of orientalism offered Americans a means
to critique new ideas of identity, history, and nationality
accompanying protoindustrialization and a growing consumerism. The
tales thus express a complex self-reflection during a time when
America's exploitation of its energy resources and its engagement
in a Franco-British world-system was transforming the daily life of
its citizens. The genre of the oriental observer, this study
argues, offers intriguing glimpses of a nation becoming strange in
the eyes of its own inhabitants.
