@lkonstan That’s an important observation, Lee. One way to push back is by going beyond US. Unsurprisingly, Lat Am & hemispheric critics have always been clearer about the earlier period (Masiello’s field-defining _Art of Transition: Latin American Culture and Neoliberal Crisis_ is from 2001). Recent work by, eg, Candice Amich, Emilio Sauri, Patricia Stuelke. Michael Shea is writing a great diss on neoliberalism & 1970s hemispheric poetry. In conclusion, #CompLitShouldHaveWon!! 😉

Hi folks, I am a #complit / #litstudies prof at Northwestern. I write about #poetry and politics in the #Americas. Also, these days, a lot about #modernism, oddities of #MaritimeHistory and #maritimeculture since the age of steam and diesel, and #laborhistory. But I may just post here about #vegetablegardening. And how #CompLitShouldHaveWon.
