NEW
Obama’s America
Carl Pedersen, Copenhagen Business School
More than just a conventional biography,
this revealing book seeks to place the
extraordinary rise of Barack Obama within the
larger context of a possible historic political
realignment in the US and limits to US power
in the world.
Pedersen asks what the election of the
first African American president means for
American national identity in the 21st century.
And he assesses whether Obama’s grassroots
campaign strategy will influence the way he
governs as president.
He argues that a shift toward a lasting
Democratic majority requires the articulation
of a new New Deal ideological framework for
domestic policy and a post-post 9/11 strategy
to meet the challenges of an emerging
non-polar world - a world in which the US is
no longer the sole superpower.
Will Obama prove to be the catalyst for this
renewal?

Hegemony, Oil and War
Steven Hurst, Manchester Metropolitan
University
This comprehensive analysis of US–Iraqi relations
from 1979 places the Iraq War of 2003 in a wider
historical context. Using World Systems Theory
to analyse US foreign policy, Hurst demonstrates
that the second Iraq War is a result of a longer
historical process and not just the product of
9/11 and the War on Terror.

upon Sylvia Plath’s poetry, she spent her

fiction. Focusing on The Bell Jar, and on Plath’s
published and unpublished stories, Ferretter

9/11 and the Literature of Terror
Martin Randall, University of Gloucestershire
Randall analyses the various representations
of the terrorist attacks on September 11,
2001 in the US in a wide selection of novels,
short stories, poems and plays. Providing
close textual readings of novels by Beigbeder,
DeLillo, Messud and Safran Foer, he considers
the validity of fictional responses to trauma
and historical suffering, and the relationship
between visual spectacle and the written
word in relation to 9/11.

Edinburgh Studies in Transatlantic Literatures
Series Editors: Susan Manning & Andrew
Taylor, both University of Edinburgh
Edinburgh Studies in Transatlantic Literatures
promotes the study of American literatures
beyond its traditional boundaries and puts
forward the notion of how a comparative
framework might enable a more demystified,
defamiliarised reading of place-based
identities. It seeks uniquely to further the
critical, theoretical and ideational work of
the developing field of transatlantic literary
studies.

Cultural Authority in the
Age of Whitman
A Transatlantic Perspective
Günter Leypoldt, University of Mainz
Exploring how literary professionalism shapes
romantic and modern cultural space, Leypoldt
traces the nineteenth-century fusion of poetic
radicalism with cultural nationalism from its
beginnings in transatlantic early romanticism,
to the poetry and poetics of Walt Whitman,
and Whitman’s modernist reinvention as an
icon of a native avant-garde.
