Beyond the Borders: American Literature and Post-Colonial Theory

American and European scholars focus post-colonial theory on ethnic literature of the US and of political regions significantly influenced by US political or cultural imperialism. Among their topics are literature of immigration and assimilation, writing migrations in Puerto Rico, border crossings in Filipino American literature, African American travel writing, counter-discursive strategies in contemporary Chicana writing, and nationhood in Native American literature.
