We are happy to announce the release of the latest issue of AMERICANA: Volume VII, Number 2, Fall 2011, guest edited by Gabriella Varró and Zoltán Simon. As they write in their introduction to the issue, it is the continuation of “[t]he previous issue of AMERICANA (Volume VII, Number 1), published in Spring 2011, guest edited by Gabriella Varró and Lenke Németh, [which ] was the first proceedings volume of the 8th Biennial Conference of the Hungarian Association for American Studies (HAAS 8), held in Debrecen, Hungary, in November 2010,” the broader theme of which was “Images of America.” This issue brings an astounding number of “17 papers that follow are more heterogeneous, addressing a smorgasbord of topics that nevertheless, when taken collectively, well represent the diversity of responses to the changing social, cultural and literary landscape, with the North American continent in the focus.”
