Críticas:

"Performing Americanness is the kind of unprecedented, richly comparative study that significantly changes the nature of the conversation by cogently presenting how African-American and Jewish-American writers of the early twentieth century narrated the critical categories of identity that enlivened their era. . . . Performing Americanness brilliantly succeeds in adding new layers of complexity and insight to previous comparative studies . . . and will likely prove invaluable to scholars and teachers interested in the disparate ways that the constructed and performative nature of race, gender, and class provoked some of the most memorable explorations of belonging and disenfranchisement by African American and Jewish American writers in the wrenching social transformations of the early twentieth century."--Shofar
