  • The New American Exceptionalism

    by Donald E. Pease ...
    Series series Critical American Studies
    For a half century following the end of World War II, the seemingly permanent cold war provided the United States with an organizing logic that governed nearly every aspect of American society and culture, giving rise to an unwavering belief in the nation's exceptionalism in global affairs and world history.

    Toward a Revitalized Cultural Politics

    by Donald E. Pease, Joan Dayan, Richard R. Flores ...

    For the most part, democracy is simply presumed to exist in the United States. It is viewed as a completed project rather than as a goal to be achieved. Fifteen leading scholars challenge that stasis in Materializing Democracy.

    Disorienting America's Maghreb, from Casablanca to the Marrakech Express

    by Donald E. Pease, Brian T. Edwards ...
    Series series New Americanists
    Until attention shifted to the Middle East in the early 1970s, Americans turned most often toward the Maghreb—Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and the Sahara—for their understanding of “the Arab.” In Morocco Bound, Brian T. Edwards examines American representations of the Maghreb during three pivotal decades—from 1942, when the United States entered the North African campaign of World War II, through ... Read more

    The U.S. South in New World Studies

    by Donald E. Pease, George B. Handley ...
    Series series New Americanists

    by Donald E. Pease ...

Historically, this has often involved black slaves passing as white in order to gain their freedom. More generally, it has served as a way for women and people of color to access male or white privilege. In their examination of this practice of crossing boundaries, ... Read more

    by Donald E. Pease, Michelle Ann Stephens ...

    Gendered Strategies of Authorship in Asian America

    by Donald E. Pease, Patricia P. Chu ...
    Series series New Americanists
    One of the central tasks of Asian American literature, argues Patricia P. Chu, has been to construct Asian American identities in the face of existing, and often contradictory, ideas about what it means to be an American. Chu examines the model of the Anglo-American bildungsroman and shows how Asian American writers have adapted it to express their troubled and unstable position in the United ... Read more

  • Crossing the Line

    Racial Passing in Twentieth-Century U.S. Literature and Culture

    by Gayle Wald, Donald E. Pease ...
    Series series New Americanists
    As W. E. B. DuBois famously prophesied in The Souls of Black Folk, the fiction of the color line has been of urgent concern in defining a certain twentieth-century U.S. racial “order.” Yet the very arbitrariness of this line also gives rise to opportunities for racial “passing,” a practice through which subjects appropriate the terms of racial discourse. To erode race’s authority, Gayle Wald ... Read more
