The journal is affiliated with the Purdue University Press monograph series of Books in Comparative Cultural Studies. Contact:

Theorizing the hemisphere Inter-Americas work at the intersection of American, Canadian, and Latin American studies

“…45 Although the topic lies outside the scope of this article, inter-Americas research also needs to interface with work on the hemisphere and its trans-Atlantic European connections. Such projects are under way at the University of Central Lancashire's Department of Cultural Studies, at the Center for Advanced Study on the Internationality of National Literatures at the University of Göttingen, Germany, and at the Maastricht Center for Transatlantic Studies, launched in 1995 by a consortium of universities from the United States, Mexico, and Europe (Buchenau and Messmer, 2001). In Mexico, the National Autonomous University (UNAM) has a Center for US Studies, while throughout Latin America individual scholars in literary and cultural studies have dedicated themselves to US-oriented American studies.…”
