American Quarterly
March 2025
Volume Volume 77, Number Number 1
As the new Editor of American Quarterly, I am honored to present this issue as the very first produced fully by the new team of editors at the University of Notre Dame. This issue brings together five fascinating essays that focus, in one way or another, on the politics of representation, with subjects ranging from the politics of illustrating children in published works by Mark Twain to secular neoliberalism in one iteration of the Real Housewives franchise. In addition, it includes a provocative forum on ethnic studies and the environmental humanities as well as reviews of an event, a digital project, and three new books in queer and feminist studies. Each of these works was first submitted to the University of Hawai'i team but has been ushered through the publication process by the Notre Dame crew.
