This volume seeks to weave applications of the dynamic concept of
resonance to ethnic studies. Resonance refers to the ever
broadening, multidirectional effects of movement or action, a
concept significant for many disciplines. The individual chapters
exchange the concept of static "intertextuality" for that of
interactive "resonance," which encourages consideration of the
mutual and processual influences among readings, paradigms, and
social engagement in cultural analysis. International scholars of
literary and cultural studies, linguistics, history, politics, or
ethno-environmental studies contribute their work in this volume.
Each chapter examines a specific ethnic phenomenon in terms of
relevant literature, lived experience and theoretical approaches,
or historical intervention, relating the given case study to
parameters of resonance. The book offers dialogic transnational
interchange, a play of eclectic ethnic voices, inquiries,
perspectives, and differences. The studies in this
interdisciplinary volume show that - through resonant engagement
with(in) and between works - literary production can both enhance
and disturb cultural narratives of ethnicity.

This volume examines the role and representation of 'race' and
ethnicity in the media with particular emphasis on the United
States. It highlights contemporary work that focuses on changing
meanings of racial and ethnic identity as they are represented in
the media; television and film, digital and print media are under
examination. Through fourteen innovative and interdisciplinary case
studies written by a team of internationally based contributors,
the volume identifies ways in which ethnic, racial, and national
identities have been produced, reproduced, stereotyped, and
contested. It showcases new emerging theoretical approaches in the
field, and pays particular attention to the role of race,
ethnicity, and national identity, along with communal and
transnational allegiances, in the making of identities in the
media. The topics of the chapters range from immigrant newspapers
and gangster cinema to ethnic stand-up comedy and the use of 'race'
in advertising.
