The Journal of American Studies seeks to critique and interrogate the notion of “America”, pursuing this through international perspectives on the history, literature, politics and culture of the United States.
The Journal publishes works by scholars from all over the world on American literature, history, institutions, politics, economics, film, popular culture, geography and related subjects in domestic, continental, hemispheric, and global contexts.
The journal is intended not only for students and scholars, but also for general readers with an interest in the United States.
The Journal is published five times a year, and is available by subscription and online.
