Editors: Dilip Gaonkar and Benjamin Lee
The Center for Transcultural Studies and the University of Minnesota Press are pleased to announce Public Worlds Books, a series of single-authored monographs and edited volumes in the field of transnational cultural studies. Public Worlds Books locates contemporary cultural issues in wider landscapes of international debate so that apparently local problems--be it multiculturalism in the United States or human rights in China--can be related to problems in other societies around the world.
Public Worlds Books examines how global culture works in specific locations. Each title in the series situates local public problems and compares them with other contexts of cultural criticism. Although topics treated in the series will not be limited to works with a transnational comparative focus, Public Worlds Books will contribute to transcultural dialogues among critical voices on contemporary issues.
