Abstract
Abstract: In this review, I look at recent texts by Yunte Huang, Hsuan Hsu, and Cynthia Wu on the transpacific literature and culture of the United States, noting how each of their books make significant and original contributions to this emerging critical field. All three books draw on transpacific methodologies (among other discourses) to generate fascinating new readings of well-known US literary and cultural texts, including—in all three critical studies—Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. Although each of these books embraces its own method and scope, reading all three together provides a compelling snapshot of the development of transpacific American studies over the past half-decade, and suggests some of the new areas in which these methodologies are making critical headway.
