Product Description
pExplore the Keywords Collaborative interactive website at keywords.nyupress.org/ppView the Table of ContentsbrRead the IntroductionpAccording to the IOxford English Dictionary/I, a keyword is a word that is of great importance or significance. On the web, "keywords" organize vast quantities of complex information. BKeywords for American Cultural Studies/B offers these features and more to its readers, providing indispensable meditations on terms and concepts used in cultural studies, American studies, and beyond./ppCollaborative in design and execution, BKeywords for American Cultural Studies/B collects sixty-four new essays from interdisciplinary scholars, each on a single term such as America, body, ethnicity, and religion. Alongside community, immigration, queer, and many others, these words are the nodal points in many of todays most dynamic and vexed discussions of political and social life, both inside and outside of the academy./ppHere are essays by scholars working in literary studies and political economy, cultural anthropology and ethnic studies, African American history and performance studies, gender studies and political theory.pSome entries are explicitly argumentative, others are more descriptive. Throughout, readers will find clear, challenging, critically engaged thinking and writing. BKeywords for American Cultural Studies/B provides an accessible A-to-Z survey of prevailing academic buzzwords, and a flexible tool for carving out new areas of inquiry. It is equally useful for college students who are trying to understand what their teachers are talking about, for general readers who want to know whats new in scholarly research, and for professors who just want to keep up./ppContributors: Vermonja R.
