About this title

Review:

"These lively essays illuminate the ways in which multiculturalist initiatives in the United States and Europe have influenced one another with a variety of productive as well as unproductive effects, especially since the events of 9/11. The authors vindicate the promise of American Studies as a scholarly domain in which the trend from a preoccupation with 'identity' to a concern for 'solidarity' can be charted and critically interrogated."--David A. Hollinger, author of Postethnic America: Beyond Multiculturalism

--David A. Hollinger, author of Postethnic America: Beyond Multiculturalism

"The thirteen new essays assembled in this book make many fresh and often surprising contributions to understanding the theoretical issues surrounding multiculturalism, the effects of the terrorist attacks of 2001 on debates about American ethnic diversity and national unity, and European and transatlantic perspectives on migration and religious difference."

--Werner Sollors, author of Beyond Ethnicity: Consent and Descebt in American Culture and coedtior of A New Literary History of America

"American Multiculturalism after 9/11 is a timely and extremely important intervention in and reconfiguration of the debates over multiculturalism that took place after 9/11 on both sides of the Atlantic."

--Donald E. Pease, coeditor of Cultures of American Imperialism and The Futures of American Studies
