Trying to solve them today requires the recovery of once-familiar but now-forgotten ideas, norms, and opinions that can seem quaintly outdated, surprisingly progressive, or enduringly harmful.","PeriodicalId":44043,"journal":{"name":"EARLY AMERICAN LITERATURE","volume":"58 1","pages":"423 - 432"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42169475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most importantly, this book challenges us to think about national style in flexible and multidimensional ways. Tomc shows that discourses of ethnicity can simultaneously operate as a means of constructing and signaling shared identity and as a way of foiling identification. On the one hand, this book optimistically describes the US national type as a gaudy, flag-bedecked “Uncle Sam” who evades repressive taxonomies and hierarchies. On the other hand, Fashion Nation more pessimistically contends that Uncle Sam thrives because of his dazzling surfaces that command attention and deceive.","PeriodicalId":44043,"journal":{"name":"EARLY AMERICAN LITERATURE","volume":"58 1","pages":"550 - 554"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48623225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Together, these essays open an important avenue for Early American Studies. With a consistency and breadth seldom found in an edited collection, this volume offers a convincing case for how and what we study. The essays address key moral concerns, from decolonization to immigration to racial reconciliation, and provide guideposts for how we may explore a new body of texts. The geographic and cultural diversity illustrate, as well, that we no longer have the need to fall back on stock regions, themes, or canonical formations. Rex and Watson have opened an invitation for anyone who teaches courses in early American literature to head out to their closest landmark, apply the same tools we use for traditional analysis, and engage our students in this continued renegotiation of a still-unwritten past. In a word, this book is a trip.","PeriodicalId":44043,"journal":{"name":"EARLY AMERICAN LITERATURE","volume":"58 1","pages":"515 - 520"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46513500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
