Visegrad. Studies on Americas. Past and Present

The origins of this book are to be found in the wish to promote and enhance cooperation between scholars from Visegrad countries: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. In spite of significant interest in American Studies in each country there has so far been no regular cooperation among the scholars, researchers and students. Therefore, we invited authors representing various disciplines relating to American studies to join us in an attempt to integrate scholars and create an academic space for future projects and educational programs. This volume is a consciously interdisciplinary exploration of contemporary America and we hope that it proves useful for students in the whole range of social and cultural studies as well as for those who share an interest in American society.
