1999-2000 Seminar
RACE AND NATION-BUILDING IN THE AMERICAS
Faculty Co-Conveners

Begun as a response to the Cold War, American studies became -- over time -- an ever widening panorama of approaches towards culture, social discourse, and intellectual productivity. This seminar transforms that concept once more, moving in the direction of a program in America studies with a full interplay of cultures from Latin America, the Caribbean, Canada, and the United States being explored within an environment open to the newest approaches to cultural studies and definitions of nationality. This seminar brought together core members of that program.
