  Re-Mapping the Transnational

  A Dartmouth Series in American Studies

  Series Editor

  The emergence of Transnational American Studies in the wake of the Cold War marks the most significant reconfiguration of American Studies since its inception. The shock waves generated by a newly globalized world order demanded an understanding of America's embeddedness within global and local processes rather than scholarly reaffirmations of its splendid isolation. The series Re-Mapping the Transnational seeks to foster the cross-national dialogues needed to sustain the vitality of this emergent field. To advance a truly comparativist understanding of this scholarly endeavor, Dartmouth College Press welcomes monographs from scholars both inside and outside the United States.

  Acknowledgments

  We wish to thank all of those who helped to organize and participated in the conference on Neoliberalism and American Literature at University College Dublin in 2016, which was a key platform for the inception of this book. In particular, thanks to Catherine Carey of the UCD Clinton Institute for her support with that event. We are grateful to Richard Pult at University Press of New England for his faith in this project and patience with its development.
