Author Description

For too long, European scholars have observed Americans in the United States as though looking through a one-way window, where the Europeans are seemingly invisible to those in discussion on the other side of the glass. As well, for too long, it would appear that Americans have scarcely realized that what was thought to be a mirror could actually be a window. Beyond the Crisis in U.S. American Studies is an invitation for developing dialogue across the Atlantic. This volume celebrates the 40th anniversary of the journal American Studies in Scandinavia, which began publication in 1967.
