About The Book

Atlantic and (Trans)Pacific Studies delves into the intersection of Atlantic and (trans)Pacific studies, two vital fields that have traditionally been studied separately. Nicole Poppenhagen, in this compelling collection, examines how these fields, while distinct, share overlapping concerns and engage in similar global exchanges, from political and economic to artistic and academic. Through a series of thought-provoking essays, the book highlights both the similarities and differences in the approaches and themes of these two regions, offering fresh perspectives on their historical, cultural, and literary intersections.

This volume brings together a diverse range of scholars from Europe, North America, and the Pacific, providing a unique interdisciplinary lens that explores the transnational influences between these regions. It serves as a catalyst for stimulating dialogue and collaboration between the fields of Atlantic and (trans)Pacific studies, aiming to challenge conventional inquiries and push forward new theoretical frameworks. Originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies, this book invites scholars and students alike to rethink traditional boundaries in global literary and cultural studies, making it an essential addition to any academic collection in the field.
