Crossing Oceans – Reconfiguring American Literary Studies in the Pacific Rim

"'A much needed collection, the first of its kind, Crossing Oceans places teaching as a central and significant social act, and specifically the teaching of American literature as an important transnational endeavor crossing Asia and the United States. Pedagogically strategic, critical and scholarly, the chapters, many by eminent academics, offer help to beginning teachers and spark fresh ideas and excitement for the veterans who work in the intercultural domain of international American Studies.' - Shirley Geok-lin Lim, University of California, Santa Barbara"
