This book offers wonderful resources for teaching American Studies,
especially with a focus on race, gender, sexuality, and power in a
moment of danger in which such resources are badly needed. Focusing
on teachers and students in classrooms, this book powerfully
intervenes in current debates about the significance of the
university today. With thoughtful contributions from many of the
top scholars currently working in the field, this book will be
invaluable for teachers, students, and other scholars and readers."
- Shelley Streeby, professor of literature and ethnic studies,
University of California, San Diego
"This innovative collection invites us to recognize that American
Studies ‘scholarship’ happens as much in what and how we teach as
in the research we publish. The editors have brought together an
exciting array of essays by scholar-teachers working in different
educational contexts, from public universities to liberal arts
colleges, high schools to adult education classes. These essays
offer practical ideas for those who teach American Studies, in all
its various incarnations. But they offer much more than that,
including reflections on teaching and learning as embodied
experiences, and, perhaps most strikingly, a fascinating portrait
of the field today as a site of interdisciplinary inquiry,
critique, and discovery on the part of students as well as teachers
and scholars." - Julia L. Mickenberg, professor of American
Studies, University of Texas at Austin
"This is an expansive and much-needed volume that is both timely
and imperative. Particularly impressive is the interdisciplinary
range of critical race and American studies scholarship that
enlivens the various pedagogical interventions while simultaneously
attending to new key terms, essential topics in twenty-first
century politics, and the ever-shifting dynamics of American
identity. Truly, Teaching American Studies: State of the Classroom
as State of the Field is indispensable for our contemporary
academic and applied considerations of American Studies." - Kim D.
Hester Williams, coeditor, Racial Ecologies, and chair, American
Multicultural Studies, Sonoma State University
