We are happy to announce that Volume IV, Number 2, Fall 2008 is now available online! The essays range from discussions of pragmatic philosophy to The Simpsons and their relation to Thoreau, from Lahiri to Williams, from Toni Morrison to Joseph Pulitzer, from captivity narratives to issues of war politics. We have a list of reviews of recently published books on American Studies, film theory and literature. The cover art of the new AMERICANA issue is designed by Mihály Orodán, a talented student at the Department of American Studies, Szeged, Hungary.
