Product Information
In Transnational America , Inderpal Grewal examines how the circulation of people, goods, social movements, and rights discourses during the 1990s created transnational subjects shaped by a global American culture. Rather than simply frame the United States as an imperialist nation-state that imposes unilateral political power in the world, Grewal analyzes how the concept of "America" functions as a nationalist discourse beyond the boundaries of the United States by disseminating an ideal of democratic citizenship through consumer practices. She develops her argument by focusing on South Asians in India and the United States. Grewal combines a postcolonial perspective with social and cultural theory to argue that contemporary notions of gender, race, class, and nationality are linked to earlier histories of colonization. Through an analysis of Mattel's sales of Barbie dolls in India, she discusses the consumption of American products by middle-class Indian women newly empowered with financial means created by India's market liberalization. Considering the fate of asylum-seekers, Grewal looks at how a global feminism in which female refugees are figured as human rights victims emerged from a distinctly Western perspective. She reveals in the work of three novelists who emigrated from India to the United States--Bharati Mukherjee, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, and Amitav Ghosh--a concept of Americanness linked to cosmopolitanism. In Transnational America Grewal makes a powerful, nuanced case that the United States must be understood--and studied--as a dynamic entity produced and transformed both within and far beyond its territorial boundaries.

Reviews
"Inderpal Grewal produces profound insights by bringing together disparate contemporary cultural, economic, and political phenomena within a single analytic framework, that of 'transnational America.' The acuity, gravity, and strenuous scholarship that mark her writing reflect the conviction that such an understanding is a crucial precondition for social transformation. This book is an important intervention by one of the foremost feminist postcolonial critics in the United States academy today."--Rajeswari Sunder Rajan, author of The Scandal of the State: Women, Law, and Citizenship in Postcolonial India, "In "Transnational America," Grewal offers an insightful and provocative analysis of the complex relationship between politics, consumption, culture and power in the creation of global subjectivities. In doing so, Grewal illustrates the usefulness of postcolonial theory as a prism through which to critically explore the entanglement of geopolitics and biopolitics with the disciplinary and governmental technologies that created neoliberal subjects at the end of the twentieth century. "Transnational America" raises important questions for those willing to confront the classed, racialized and gendered assumptions that underpin 'the global' in Western politics." --Sandra Dawson, "Interventions", ""Transnational America" is a timely critical analysis of the rapidly changing relationship between India and the U.S.... [I]lluminating.... [Grewal] lives up to her role as pioneer ... of transnational feminist cultural studies." --Lavina Dhingra Shankar, "Journal of Asian Studies", "Inderpal Grewal produces profound insights by bringing together disparate contemporary cultural, economic, and political phenomena within a single analytic framework, that of 'transnational America.'

The challenges it raises for area studies and disciplinary formations are sure to excite argument and debate in many different quarters.�-Akhil Gupta, author of Postcolonial Developments: Agriculture in the Making of Modern India, "Inderpal Grewal deftly combines postcolonial, transnational, and feminist approaches to the study of neoliberalism and consumerism in this timely and important book.

The challenges it raises for area studies and disciplinary formations are sure to excite argument and debate in many different quarters."--Akhil Gupta, author of Postcolonial Developments: Agriculture in the Making of Modern India "Grosz offers an alternative to the socially constructed identity and sexualities by calling for an examination of how inhuman forces constitute them."--Catherine Villanueva Gardner, American Philosophical Association Newsletter "In its drive towards the future - a future seen as radically open and indeterminable - Grosz's work provides a positive and invigorating vision of the role of cultural theory. It also offers a compelling re-envisioning of the present, and the present's relationship to the future. The structure of the book, as a collection of connected but disparate essays, means that it does not, and does not attempt to, develop a totalising theory of temporality. Rather, it opens up new directions both in how we think about theory and the consequences - and futures - of cultural and feminist theory."--Karen Hall, Limina "Grewal's book is an important contribution to the discussion of transnational construction of identities in the framework of neoliberal cosmopolitanism. It uses multiple contexts to explore the ways in which this hypothetically a-national formation works for especially American cultural hegemony that remains pervasive despite what critics like Hardt and Negri argue. That the contexts and texts used in the analysis are multiple make the book also somewhat unfocused... but at the same time its stance of undisciplined resistance makes it the more worthwhile."- Joel Kuortti, Contemporary South Asia , 01 June 2009, "I recommend this extremely engaging, meticulously theorised, and successfully messy book for those interested in engaging with the links between the geopolitical and biopolitical, governmentality and subjectivity in the context of feminisms, diasporas, neoliberalism, and transnationalism." --Goldie Osuri, "Australian Feminist Studies", ""Transnational America" offers a sophisticated analysis of the complex and varied mechanisms that shore up the global economic system. Grewal's choice of topic alone is welcome. It is refreshing to encounter such a highly developed appreciation of the critical role of discourse. Grewal handles her subject matter with subtlety and precision. . . . Grewal's compelling thesis on the pervasive nature of America's transnational neoliberal regime presents itself forcefully." --Zoe Gordon," International Feminist Journal of Politics", "Grewal does an excellent job. . . . [W]ritten in a clear, formal style that is enriched by the continual ties that she has with Southeast Asia (specifically India)." --James McQuiston, "Altar Magazine", Transnational America offers a sophisticated analysis of the complex and varied mechanisms that shore up the global economic system.

Grewal gives us valuable insights useful in studies of postcolonialism, ethnicity, gender, culture, and society." --Laurie E. Naranch, "Multicultural Review", "Inderpal Grewal deftly combines postcolonial, transnational, and feminist approaches to the study of neoliberalism and consumerism in this timely and important book.
