Reworlding America: The Globalization of American Studies

Abstract

Traditionally, Eurocentrism has served as a central, organizing principle and an overarching, ideological framework to conceptualize the social, political, and cultural history of the United States. Having articulated this claim early on, in what follows I intend to do two things: one, briefly discuss the validity of the claim by demonstrating the embeddedness of Eurocentric thought and perspective in the conceptualization of American social and cultural history; and two, argue for the use of certain critical models that take into account the pan-American dimensions of the social, cultural, and intellectual commerce that link the Americas to a larger, global world.
