I begin with a quotation: “On imperialism, see Amy Kaplan and Donald E. Pease, Cultures of United States Imperialism.” This language represents a now familiar endnote found in literary criticism and American studies scholarship that references the emergence of academic interest in empire, borders, transnationalism, neocolonialism, and war. This or similar phrasing surfaces in an endnote in Siobhan Somerville's Queering the Color Line: Race and the Invention of Homosexuality in American Culture (2000) to cement the connections between white supremacy at home and US interventionism abroad (1, 199); in David Leverenz's Paternalism Incorporated: Fables of American Fatherhood, 1865–1940 (2004) to explain the sway of imperialist romance (11, 207); in Rodrigo Lazo's Writing to Cuba: Filibustering and Cuban Exiles in the United States (2005) to describe “the relationship of culture to U.S. imperialism” (15, 199); and in Antoinette Burton's introduction to Gender, Sexuality, and Colonial Modernities (1999) to identify “the cultures of American imperialism” (3, 14). This unscientific gathering of citations starts us on the path of discerning the legacy and impact of Kaplan and Pease's intervention. How does Anglo-American professional culture engage the culture of US imperialism? What are the politics of citation, in particular, citations to an entire volume that collectively spans 26 separate essays and several hundred years of American cultural history? What are we remembering—and, of course, any question about remembering is also a provocation to think about forgetting—about literature and history when we reference Cultures of United States Imperialism (1993)?
