Historier om Amerika er den første brede gennemgang på dansk af nyere amerikansk litteratur – fra 1980 til i dag. USA har altid fostret en særdeles rig og livskraftig litteratur, og de seneste 30 år er ingen undtagelse. Vietnamkrig og miljøkatastrofer, yuppiekultur og kernefamilie i krise, politisk puritanisme og terror i nationens hjerte: Det er alt sammen til stede hos de amerikanske forfattere, og man får næppe et sandere billede af USA end det, man kan stykke sammen af denne mangfoldighed af stemmer og fortællinger.

Bogen er bredt formidlende, men går også i dybden med sine emner. Den kan således både bruges som generel introduktion til perioden og som en vejviser for alle dem, der i forvejen læser ny amerikansk li

The American West and Its Disappearing Water, Revised Edition "The definitive work on the West's water crisis." --Newsweek The story of the American West is the story of a relentless quest for a precious resource: water. It is a tale of rivers diverted and dammed, of political corruption and intrigue, of billion-dollar battles over water rights, of ecological and economic disaster.

Based on more than a decade of research, Cadillac Desert is a stunning expose and a dramatic, intriguing histor
