By 1994 American anti-immigration rhetoric had reached a fevered pitch, and throngs of migrants entered the U.S. nightly.

John Carlos Rowe, considered one of the most eminent and progressive critics of American literature, has in recent years become instrumental in shaping the path of American studies. His latest book examines literary responses to U.S. imperialism from the late eighteenth century to the 1940s. Interpreting texts by Charles Brockden Brown, Poe, Melville, John Rollin Ridge, Twain, Henry Adams, Stephen Crane, W. E. B. Du Bois, John Neihardt, Nick Black Elk, and Zora Neale Hurston, Rowe argues that U.S. literature has a long tradition of responding critically or contributing to our imperialist ventures. Following in the critical footsteps of Richard Slotkin and Edward Said, Literary Culture and U.S. Imperialism is particularly innovative in taking account of the public and cultural response to imperialism. In this sense it could not be more relevant to what is happening in the scholarship, and should be vital reading for scholars and students of American literature and culture.

"Laura Briggs has given us a very smart book. She's opened my eyes to Puerto Rican women's centrality to the entire American imperial enterprise. Pay attention to prostitution--debates about it, maneuvers to control it, reliance on it--and we'll gain a more realistic sense of political life. Briggs shows us how true that is. I'm going to recommend this book to everyone."--Cynthia Enloe, author of "Maneuvers: The International Politics of Militarizing Women's Lives
"This book not only brings a significant original contribution to the analyses and understanding of an important period in Puerto Rican history, it also brings rich and original information and perspectives to gender, cultural, and sociological studies. While reading it, I felt amazed by its solid documentation and fresh analysis of a period that has been 'studied' extensively, but in a very traditional way. The book brings sharp understanding to the past, and also builds links to the present and future, clearly showing its pertinenceand relevance for scholars, students and the general public."--Yamila Azize-Vargas, author of "La mujer en la lucha (History of Puerto Rican Feminism, 1898-1930)
"A superb analysis of how U.S. colonialism in Puerto Rico had profound effects on sex, gender, and racial formations in both nations. Briggs sets new standards for the study of race and gender in U.S. women's history."--Peggy Pascoe, University of Oregon
