La 4e de couverture indique : "This volume focuses on religious, historical, literary,
cultural and political models, developed in America, for the realization and representation
of American lives. These original articles demonstrate the importance of different
forms of life writing for the disciplines of American Studies. Experts in the field
such as literary and cultural critics Sidonie Smith, Craig Howes, Birgit Däwes, historian
Thomas Bender, and writer critic Siri Hustvedt among others cover the wide range of
the presentation and performance of selves in colonial literature, nature writing,
immigrant and campaign auto/biographies, religion, film, TV series, rap music, graphic
presentations, comics, ans sports. Addressing the transnational self-affirmations
of American citizens in Hawai'i, the Caribbean islands, on reservations, and in urban
ghettos they represent the diversified panorama of American lives."
