In the decades following the American Revolution, literary and
cultural discourses, but also American collective and individual
identification were shaped by transatlantic relations and
inter-American exchanges and conflicts. The way Americans defined
themselves as a nation and as individuals was shaped by such
historical events and social issues as the Haitian Revolution, the
struggles for independence in Spanish America, ties with Caribbean
slave economies, and rivalries with other colonial powers in the
Americas. Contextualizing transatlantic and inter-American
relations within a framework of the Western Hemisphere, the essays
collected in this volume discuss inter-American relations in the
early United States, and in American, European and Spanish-American
writing of the period.
Where do the Americas begin, and where do they end? What is the
relationship between the spatial constructions of "area" and
"continent"? How were the Americas imagined by different actors in
different historical periods, and how were these imaginations - as
continent, nation, region - guided by changing agendas and
priorities? This interdisciplinary volume addresses competing and
conflicting configurations and narratives of spatialization in the
context of globalization processes from the 19th century to the
present.
