Reviews

"""In Auto/Biography Across the Americas, Chansky has collected twelve thought-provoking essays focusing on “points of connectivity”, linking life writing across the Americas. Chansky argues that these narratives are characterized broadly by two key themes: movement and belonging. More generally, she argues that auto/biography studies would benefit from centering theories, narratives, and disciplinary perspectives that destabilize nationalist frameworks for understanding literature and identity.""- Theresa A. Kulbaga, Miami University"
