Abstract

What constitutes the pervasive cultural assumptions known to us as America? Since the hemisphere actually encompasses a variety of national identities, can it make sense to speak of a unified American identity? Can a place for marginalized identities be established within the cultural mainstream? Comparative Identities maps out a dynamic terrain of New World cultural identities, questions and problems. The essays attempt to locate America as a cultural and historical site of plurality and division, a discursive space of multiple differences which becomes, paradoxically, the ground for a new notion of unity.
