American Quarterly represents innovative interdisciplinary scholarship that engages with key issues in American studies.

This includes work that contributes to our understanding of the United States in its diversity, its relations with its hemispheric neighbors, and its impact on world politics and culture. Through the publication of reviews of books, events, and diverse media, the journal seeks to make available the broad range of emergent approaches to American studies

Currently, there are 260 programs and departments of American Studies across the country. American Studies programs thrive at small and large colleges and universities, in both urban and rural environments, and in all regions of the country.ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN STUDIES ONLINE
The term American studies encompasses a vast range of disciplines, all of which, in one way or another, are trying to describe the cultures of the United States. In recent years American studies has also incorporated comparative studies of Canada and Latin America; and indeed a transnational, global perspective on American culture has become one of the leading currents in the field as we begin the twenty-first century. Where, after all, do the borders of America stop, when its influence was, throughout the twentieth century, so pervasive on world cultures?
