摘要

本文详细介绍了一项前沿的知识交流活动，该活动推进了赫尔大学与赫尔监狱管理委员会之间的持续合作，源于 2022 年 4 月在赫尔举行的 BAAS 年度会议。文章旨在探讨在非学术环境中批判美国文化的价值，以及监狱阅读小组在多大程度上为此提供了富有成效的机会。我们的研究分析了在赫尔监狱举办的美国主题读书俱乐部中讨论的一些文本的接受情况，尤其关注了监狱学员对帮派成员--后来成为畅销书作家的路易斯-J-罗德里格斯的文学作品的反应。

Reading America, Reading Rodriguez: Exploring American Literature at an English Prison Book Group

This article details a cutting-edge Knowledge Exchange initiative which advanced the ongoing partnership between the University of Hull and HMP Hull, and stemmed from the annual BAAS conference, held in Hull in April 2022. The purpose of the article is to explore the value of critiquing US culture in a nonacademic setting and the extent to which a prison reading group presents a productive opportunity for so doing. Our research analyses the reception of a number of texts discussed in an American-themed book club hosted in HMP Hull, with a particular focus upon the responses of prison learners to the literary works of gang-member-turned-best-selling-author Luis J. Rodriguez.

期刊介绍： Journal of American Studies seeks to critique and interrogate the notion of "America", pursuing this through international perspectives on the history, literature, politics and culture of the United States. The Journal publishes original peer-reviewed research and analysis by established and emerging scholars throughout the world, considering US history, politics, literature, institutions, economics, film, popular culture, geography, sociology and related subjects in domestic, continental, hemispheric, and global contexts. Its expanded book review section offers in-depth analysis of recent American Studies scholarship to promote further discussion and debate.
