Description

Within China, the discipline of American Studies spans a wide variety of concerns and preoccupations, reflecting its practical diversity in a transnational setting.

Essays in this volume by close to forty scholars, the majority most of them based in mainland China, reflect on the past history and current teaching of American Studies within China, placing these in comparative perspectives.

The nature of globalization, the transmission of ideas and practices across cultural boundaries, the formulation and meaning of identity in cross-national communications, constitute major themes in contemporary American Studies in China.

For officials and commentators alike, the past, present, and future state of Sino-American relations are also an overriding preoccupation of China's America-watchers.

Overall, this collection allows the reader to sample and appreciate the state of the field of American Studies in today's China.
