This study examines early American orientalism as a means of self-reflection in a time of disorienting change. It explores specifically the period's popular oriental-observer tales as a way to conceptualize and critique the new ideas of identity, history, and nationality accompanying a growing protoindustrialization and consumer culture.
Matthew H. Pangborn is an associate professor of English at Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, Iowa.
