Content:
Arguing for a new methodology in American studies scholarship, contributors here call for a consideration of both space and time. Essays discussing topics such as weather, cigarettes, archival material, AIDS, the enemy, extinct species, and torture demonstrate a way to study American culture by reading its history as well as its future.
