New World Studies publishes interdisciplinary research that seeks
to redefine the cultural map of the Americas and to propose particularly
stimulating points of departure for an emerging field. Encompassing
the Caribbean as well as continental North, Central, and South
America, the series books examine cultural processes within the
hemisphere, taking into account the economic, demographic, and
historical phenomena that shape them. Given the increasing diversity
and richness of the linguistic and cultural traditions in the
Americas, the need for research that privileges neither the English-speaking
United States nor Spanish-speaking Latin America has never been
greater. The series is designed to bring the best of this new
research into an identifiable forum and to channel its results
to the rapidly evolving audience for cultural studies.
