Political norms and philosophical ideas, the significance of religion, anti-Americanism, the impact of immigration and ethnicity, the role of art and literature, and the concepts of transnationalism and creolization all surface in 17 essays about transatlantic affairs. Scholars from both sides of the sea and from a range of disciplines delivered versions of them at an October 2005 conference in Tutzing, Bavaria. No index is provided.
