This collection of essays ostensibly intends to cut across cultural, 'racial' and/or 'ethnic' boundaries, introducing the concept of 'transethnicity' and arguing for its increasing validity in the ever-changing field of American Studies. Accordingly, the comparative analysis in Selves in Dialogue is implemented not by juxtaposing essays that pay 'separate but equal' attention to specific 'monoethnic' or 'monocultural' traditions--as has been the usual strategy in book-length publications of this sort--, but by critically engaging with two or more different traditions in every single essay.
