ISBN10: 0801886511, ISBN13: 9780801886515, [publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Scholars working among an array of 'technologies' and 'Americas' were invited to contribute to this special bound issue of American Quarterly to interrogate why one might study technology in a post-Eurocentric, post-national American Studies.
