"American Mediterraneans: A Study in Geography, History, and Race" by Susan Gillman is a book that explores the circulation of the metaphor of the Mediterranean in the Americas during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Gillman argues that Mediterranean discourse is always about race, even when it may not appear to be. She connects a wide range of texts, including literature, film, advertising, and architecture, to examine the racial conundrums and forms of translation and adaptation that arise. The book offers a new perspective on comparative study and highlights the complexities of Mediterranean discourse in the Americas. [Extracted from the article] |
