Reencounters with Colonialism:
New Perspectives on the Americas
Series Editors:
Donald E. Pease, Marysa Navarro, Ivy Schweitzer, Silvia Spitta

This series, sponsored by Dartmouth College, highlights the ongoing reformulation and rearticulation of colonial encounters from a variety of perspectives around the Americas. Throughout the past century, and ever more urgently in recent years, scholars engaged in critical studies of the Americas have challenged the paradigm that locates the "colonial" within Puritan New England and characterizes it through locked positions of colonizer and colonized, self and other, nation and native. Scholars in Latin American, Canadian, Native American, Caribbean, and Pacific Rim studies have offered an alternative paradigm through their readings of the relational dynamics at work in colonial encounters and the transformation of power through mimicry, subversion, and other forms of resistance. Viewed through this new framework, what was "Early American Studies" becomes a space in which post-colonial and anti-colonial work can be expanded and explored. This international community of scholars is actively reframing the very concept of the "colonial."

The series editors believe this interdisciplinary, cross cultural endeavor provides an opportunity to bring various theoretical and political perspectives to bear on issues such as transculturation, nationality, and nationalism. Rather than emphasize isolated contexts and countries, Reencounters with Colonialism goes beyond old ideological and geographic boundaries. It features theoretical debates that are currently shaping thought about Colonial and Post-colonial Studies, and fosters conversations among scholars from different perspectives on the intersections of race, state, gender, and locale. In doing so, it looks to emerging areas such as cultural studies and performance art and theory. This series seeks to configure the "Americas" as a shared intellectual space, home to Native Americans, Latinos, African-Americans, and European-Americans alike. It seeks to bring a variety of perspectives on colonialism into fruitful dialog and debate.
