From the Back Cover
"At ease with the interface of the local and global, Rob Wilson flies in and out of Asia and the Pacific. As he rediscovers and redefines the continent, islands and waters, he constantly rereads America. Such a geographic venture is also an exercise in de-disciplining. Circulating freely among literature, culture, economics, politics, history, and media, Wilson's imagination and judgment are shrewd, sardonic, zestful, zany, and delightful. "Reimagining the American Pacific" is a thoroughly rewarding book."--Masao Miyoshi, University of California, San Diego

Rob Wilson is Professor of Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He is the author of numerous books including American Sublime: The Genealogy of a Poetic Genre and several volumes of poetry, and coeditor of Global/Local: Cultural Production and the Transnational Imaginary and of Asia/Pacific as Space of Cultural Production, both published by Duke University Press.
