Reviews
This is a vital anthology, both in conception and execution. For students and faculty alike, it will create an unprecedented sense of the dynamic force fields of American literature. I'm especially impressed by the anthology's fluid movement across media platforms and geographical divides., With the inimitable vision we have come to expect from her, Dimock has assembled a nimble model for reading American literature beyond U.S. borders and traditional periodization, across both space and time. This vision of American literary history as an international, outward-facing, worldly tradition is timely and needed., An inventive, exciting anthology of American literature that promises to make teaching and taking a survey course a global adventure! Collages of clustered texts around thematic nodes suggest creative juxtapositions certain to spark student interest. Familiar classics and less-known texts are well balanced, and the digital platform brings the American survey course into the twenty-first century of collaborations.

Synopsis
American Literature in the World is an innovative anthology offering a new way to understand the global forces that have shaped the making of American literature. The wide-ranging selections are structured around five interconnected nodes: war; food; work, play, and travel; religions; and human and nonhuman interfaces. Through these five categories, Wai Chee Dimock and a team of emerging scholars reveal American literature to be a complex network, informed by crosscurrents both macro and micro, with local practices intensified by international concerns. Selections include poetry from Anne Bradstreet to Jorie Graham; the fiction of Herman Melville, Gertrude Stein, and William Faulkner; Benjamin Franklin's parables; Frederick Douglass's correspondence; Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders ; Langston Hughes's journalism; and excerpts from The Autobiography of Malcom X as well as Octavia Butler's Dawn . Popular genres such as the crime novels of Raymond Chandler, the comics of Art Spiegelman, the science fiction of Philip K. Dick, and recipes from Alice B. Toklas are all featured. More recent authors include Junot Diaz, Leslie Marmon Silko, Jonathan Safran Foer, Edwidge Danticat, Gary Shteyngart, and Jhumpa Lahiri. These selections speak to readers at all levels and invite them to try out fresh groupings and remap American literature. A continually updated interactive component at www.amlitintheworld.yale.edu complements the anthology., American Literature in the World is an innovative anthology offering a new way to understand the global forces that have shaped the making of American literature. The wide-ranging selections are structured around five interconnected nodes: war; food; work, play, and travel; religions; and human and nonhuman interfaces.

Seller feedback (618)
- e***z (336)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseTop-notch customer service during the busy holiday season. I received a defective printer, which I ordered for my business needs. As an internet seller myself, I highly value the "no questions asked" quick refund I received after describing the issues I was having (in detail). No request for proof, pictures, etc. As an aside, the printer was packed and shipped beautifully; no problems there. Just technical problems with the unit. Kudos to just taking care of the customer's needs!Epson WF-3540 Color Inkjet All-in-One, Copier, Scanner, Fax & Printer (#135362540726)
- l***a (100)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseOver the course of Sept I have ordered roughly 10 items from this seller but have not received any of the items. I have tried contacting the seller multiple times, but there has been no response. I need the items as I cannot find them elsewhere so this is very frustrating. It's a good thing eBay has a refund policy; however it is maddening to think that this seller is listing items, not sending them and still making money because eBay is the one refunding. I hope they get their money back.
- r***e (29)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseE-bay refunded my money, thank you for that. However, the seller is not fair, I still haven't received the disc I ordered after 2 months, the seller's communication is zero, when I asked him to check my package to see where it got stuck, he didn't even answer. In a word, avoid it, I don't recommend it!Chuck Berry The London Chuck Berry Sessions Chess CH 60020 (#135236528412)
