Miller, Matthew L.
Professor
My main area of scholarship presently is on the development of transnational consciousness in modern American literature and in contemporary American literature. I am looking at the pioneers of this perspective and how and why transnationalism emerged throughout the 20th century. To offer a more strenuous argument, I link these pioneers to a set of contemporary ethnic writers who develop the desire to return to their homelands (through literature).
