| Publisher Description: Is peace an academic subject? Is it teachable? What answers can Americanists offer? This collection of essays, which grew out of an interdisciplinary conference on American Studies and Peace , brings together perspectives from political science, history, literary and cultural studies, feminism, education, popular culture, and international studies. In a broad transatlantic dialog - involving scholars from Europe and both Americas, South Africa, and Israel - questions of democracy, language, gender, American values, and authorship are addressed and American Studies as a field is tested as to its potential to make a valid contribution to world peace in a socio-political and humanitarian sense. |
