"At ease with the interface of the local and global, Rob Wilson flies in and out of Asia and the Pacific. As he rediscovers and redefines the continent, islands and waters, he constantly rereads America. Such a geographic venture is also an exercise in de-disciplining. Circulating freely among literature, culture, economics, politics, history, and media, Wilson's imagination and judgment are shrewd, sardonic, zestful, zany, and delightful. "Reimagining the American Pacific" is a thoroughly rewarding book."--Masao Miyoshi, University of California, San Diego
