Aspects of Transnational and Indigenous Cultures addresses the issues of place and mobility, aesthetics and politics, as well as identity and community, which have become prominent in the framework of global and transnational American and indigenous studies. With its ten chapters including contributions from the US, Germany, Australia, Canada, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, the volume conceptualizes a comparative and transnational paradigm for crossing national, regional and international boundaries, and, in so doing, provides a basis for a shared world of poetics and aesthetics in contemporary transnational scholarship.

This edited volume includes trans-cultural and trans-disciplinary works from several prominent scholars in Native American and indigenous studies, Asian American studies, and transnational studies, including Philip J. Deloria, Birgit Däwes, Joni Adamson, A. Robert Lee, Chadwick Allen, Tzu-I Chung, Angeline O’Neill, Shirley Geok-lin Lim, and Kung Jong Lee.
