期刊介绍： The New Centennial Review is devoted to comparative studies of the Americas that suggest possibilities for a different future.

The journal recognizes that the language of the Americas is translation, and that questions of translation, dialogue, and border crossings (linguistic, cultural, national, and the like) are necessary for rethinking the foundations and limits of the Americas.
