American Quarterly
September 2024
Volume Volume 76, Number Number 3
"We Are Not American" Still
Editors Maile Arvin, Hiʻilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart, Bryan Kamaoli Kuwada, Brandy Nālani McDougall, and Stephanie Nohelani Teves
It is with tremendous pride, gratitude, and humility that we deliver the final special issue of American Quarterly under the helm of the Hawai‘i based editorial team. The guest editors and contributors to this issue remind American studies scholars of the urgency of not only questioning but firmly rejecting Americanness. At the same time, through the various genres of writing and forms of expression, the issue shows the connection, appreciation, solidarity, and love across Americanness that we also must continue to insist on.
