Legal Borderlands - Law and the Construction of American Borders

Informationen zum Autor Mary L. Dudziak is the Judge Edward J. and Ruey L. Guiardo Professor of Law and History at the University of Southern California Law School and affiliated faculty in the Program in American Studies and Ethnicity. Klappentext This collection focuses broadly on the role of law in the construction of United States borders and takes up an important question raised by the global turn in American studies scholarship: once territory becomes less critical to scholarship in the discipline, what constitutes the frame of American studies? Zusammenfassung This is the first collection to map the intersection of law and American studies! and it captures the excitement of interdisciplinary work at this intersection.
