“American English as a poetic resource” argues that American English is one of the country’s great poetic resources. It is remarkably adaptable, contested, and diverse. When poets explore American English’s poetic usefulness, the diversity of their approaches and interests demonstrates the language’s flexibility. They use American English to critique and celebrate America and its literary traditions and to create a distinctive literature that also draws from traditions outside it. They mark differences as well as affinities. In some cases, the poetry shows an exuberant appreciation of American English’s peculiarities, its quirks and openness to experimentation and cultural cross-fertilization. Discussed poets include Walt Whitman, Harryette Mullen, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Ezra Pound, and Robert Frost.

In Toward Camden, Mercy Romero writes about the relationships that make and sustain the largely African American and Puerto Rican Cramer Hill neighborhood in New Jersey where she grew up. She walks the city and writes outdoors to think about the collapse and transformation of property. She revisits lost and empty houses—her family's house, the Walt Whitman House, and the landscape of a vacant lot. Throughout, Romero engages with the aesthetics of fragment and ruin; her writing juts against idioms of redevelopment. She resists narratives of the city that are inextricable from crime and decline and witnesses everyday lives lived at the intersection of spatial and Puerto Rican diasporic memory. Toward Camden travels between what official reports say and what the city's vacant lots withhold. Duke University Press Scholars of Color First Book Award recipient

El concepto “desarrollo” surge recién en la época de la postguerra y estuvo estrechamente vinculado a la teoría de la modernización. El marco histórico lo constituye el surgimiento de los estados nacionales como consecuencia de lasluchas anticoloniales especialmente en África, Asia y el Caribe latinoamericano. Especial mención merece la obra de Walt Rostow, economista norteaméricano que en su momento era asesor económico del Presidente John-son. Sus ideas sobre el libre comercio y la modernización fueron muy difundidas en los años 60. El modelo de etapas de crecimiento económico de Walt Whitman Rostow describe cómo las sociedades se convierten en economías modernas e industriales a lo largo de cinco etapas distintas: 1. Sociedad tradicional; 2. Sociedad transicional; 3. Despegue; 4. Camino a la madurez tecnológica y 5. Alto consumo masivo. La etapa de “despegue”, que es el tercer paso, describe el momento en que las sociedades avanzan hacia la plena industrialización de ciertas maneras específicas, como las innovaciones tecnológicas, la urbanización, la producción de bienes secundarios como los textiles y el intenso crecimiento en sectores específicos. Se trata en suma de un modelo dualista (tradición – modernidad) que se carac-teriza por una visión reduccionista y de hecho ahistórica del proceso de desarrollo.
