Items related to Aspects of Transnational and Indigenous Cultures
Aspects of Transnational and Indigenous Cultures addresses the issues of place and mobility, aesthetics and politics, as well as identity and community, which have become prominent in the framework of global and transnational American and indigenous studies. With its ten chapters including contributions from the US, Germany, Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, the volume conceptualizes a comparative and transnational paradigm for crossing national, regional and international boundaries, and, in so doing, provides a basis for a shared world of poetics and aesthetics in contemporary transnational scholarship. This edited volume includes trans-cultural and trans-disciplinary works from several prominent scholars in Native American and indigenous studies, Asian American studies, and transnational studies, including Philip J. Deloria, Birgit Dawes, Joni Adamson, A. Robert Lee, Chadwick Allen, Tzu-I Chung, Angeline O'Neill, Shirley Geok-lin Lim, and Kung Jong Lee.

Review:
This ground-breaking volume brings together prominent scholars based in Asia, Europe and North America to explore the ways in which transnational American studies, ethnic studies, global studies, and indigenous studies can productively complicate and inform each other. As it unsettles and disrupts past paradigms and approaches, this splendid book challenges scholars to re-examine ideas of place, mobility, aesthetics, politics, identity, community, imperialism, diaspora and globalization. Every chapter bristles with unexpected juxtapositions, fresh comparative perspectives, and generative insights. A transformative contribution to scholarship. --Shelley Fisher Fishkin, Joseph S. Atha Professor of Humanities, Professor of English, and Director of American Studies, Stanford University
Only Professor Hsinya Huang of National Sun Yat-sen University in Taiwan, a distinguished pioneer of comparative indigenous literatures from the US across the Pacific, could have assembled such an international group of North American, Asian and European thinkers and writers to help her work through the transnational turn in the dynamic academic field of American Studies. Especially in relationship to indigenous studies and indigeneity, the viability of transnationalism as theory, practice and methodology is subject to much debate even as it is being deployed. These essays will not settle the question, but will surely stir the pot and add some additional spices. --Evelyn Hu-DeHart, Professor of History, American Studies and Ethnic Studies, Brown University
