Abstract:

These supplementary notes consider how this issue of Comparative American Studies offers mediations concerning the relationships between national and transnational Americanist practices of the past and into the future, as well as meditations on what affiliates New Americanist scholarship with previous work in the field. Individually and collectively the contributors to this issue, Donald E. Pease argues, demonstrate how the internationalism informing Alan Trachtenberg's American Studies scholarship and the New Americanists' transnational orientation were involved in a relationship of supplementarity rather than mutual opposition.
