“All of Us or None brilliantly moves us through several impasses that have long prevented useful dialogue between migration and Indigenous studies and activisms. Offering an important record of activist labor and thought that is too often marginalized, this truly outstanding book provides a very timely and urgently needed intervention that will advance scholarship across several key fields.” ~Eithne Luibhéid, author of Pregnant on Arrival: Making the Illegal Immigrant
Expansive and groundbreaking, Nature Unfurled examines the links between Asian American and environmental history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century.
Exploring how fans from different cultural and racial backgrounds engage with Korean media in local and individual contexts, this edited collection reveals complex transcultural affinities, conflicts, and negotiations.
YSoTAL Network is a new and growing network of young scholars who share an interest in transnational anglophone literature. Thematically, this kind of literature overlaps with what has been termed postcolonial, migration, and ethnic literature(s), but it is usually written by authors who themselves have a transnational background, and is concerned with the many ways in which the national is transcended even as the characters remain in bound motion between places and cultures.

Contributors from members of the American Politics Group provide accessible and incisive interventions into a key question: what models, methods, and contexts allow us to best understand the rise of the American right, and to predict its future course?
