Pangborn Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This study examines early American orientalism as a means of self-reflection in a time of disorienting change. It explores specifically the periods popular oriental-observer tales as a way to conceptualize and critique the new ideas of identity, history, and nationality accompanying a growing protoindustrialization and consumer culture. Publisher Description This study engages with the emerging field of energy humanities to provide close readings of several early American oriental-observer tales. The popular genre of orientalism offered Americans a means to critique new ideas of identity, history, and nationality accompanying protoindustrialization and a growing consumerism. The tales thus express a complex self-reflection during a time when Americas exploitation of its energy resources and its engagement in a Franco-British world-system was transforming the daily life of its citizens. The genre of the oriental observer, this study argues, offers intriguing glimpses of a nation becoming strange in the eyes of its own inhabitants. Author Biography Matthew H. Pangborn is an associate professor of English at Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, Iowa.
