Publisher's Synopsis
This volume explores the possibilities and implications of transnational citizenship in terms of its cultural affinities and political affiliations. The historical experience of the US, as a federal and multi-cultural project, first inspired the concept of transnationalism. The development of the EU constitutes a more recent daring project that opens up all manner of questions concerning such transnational citizenship. The US offers a rich store of comparisons of relevance to the ongoing formation of the New Europe. This volume brings together contributions by American Studies scholars from such various transnational settings and asks them to address questions of transnational citizenship and of the American resonance in its formation.
