End Game
July 5 2018, Masindi, Uganda: 218 people are massacred when the Lord's Resistance Army attack an undefended hospital. Amongst the dead are 32 American medical volunteers. September 12, UN Security Council: The US announces its plan to eradicate the Lord's Resistance Army once and for all. But it will mean military intervention in China's African sphere of influence. The message from the Chinese is keep out. October 17, Wall Street: Stock prices tumble as a wave of uncertainty sweeps the US markets. Memories of the collapse a decade ago are still fresh, and Washington is prepared to do what it takes to prop up America's banks. But the government's concern is that this time the turmoil is orchestrated. That someone is deliberately undermining the US markets. Three unrelated incidents, or the opening moves in a much larger confrontation between two superpowers?

Trigger Point
When US and China play nuclear wargames expect “as much gut-wrenching suspense as any thriller in recent memory” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). When American aid workers are massacred in Uganda by terrorists, President Tom Knowles opts for military intervention. It’s his chance to put a stamp on world affairs. But for China, which considers Uganda its African sphere of influence, it’s a bad, bad move. Six weeks later, stock prices on Wall Street fall. Amid rumors of insolvency, a major bank leads the rout, refusing a government bailout. Its major shareholder: a Chinese sovereign investment corporation. As market slide turns to panic, Knowles suspects that the US economy is bein...
American Literature as World Literature
For better or worse, America lives in the age of “worlded” literature. Not the world literature of nations and nationalities considered from most powerful and wealthy to the least. And not the world literature found with a map. Rather, the worlded literature of individuals crossing borders, mixing stories, and speaking in dialect. Where translation struggles to be effective and background is itself another story. The “worlded” literature of the multinational corporate publishing industry where the global market is all. The essays in this collection, from some of the most distinguished figures in American studies and literature, explore what it means to consider American literature as world literature.

Proceed with Caution, when Engaged by Minority Writing in the Americas
Let the reader beware. Educated readers naturally feel entitled to know what they're reading--often, if they try hard enough, to know it with the conspiratorial intimacy of a potential partner. This book reminds us that cultural differences may in fact make us targets of a text, not its co-conspirators. Some literature, especially culturally particular or "minority" literature, actually uses its differences and distances to redirect our desire for intimacy toward more cautious, respectful engagements. To name these figures of cultural discontinuity--to describe a rhetoric of particularism in the Americas--is the purpose of Proceed with Caution. In a series of daring forays, from seventeenth-...
