Regionalism and The Humanities (review)

duplicated by domestic texts. It would be easy to say that this book should be translated. Indeed, it should, but in so doing it needs to be redirected to a larger audience without duplicating the elementary approach that Mauk has already employed. Ambitiously, we could consider the sort of reading list—primary and secondary material, as already sampled by Hebel—that would accompany such an effort. Finally, there is the question why such a book does not already exist for use in the United States. We have anthologies, collections of essays, even Web sites, but no book that is directed to the sort of university audience for which Hebel writes. Udo Hebel, who, miraculously, wrote this book while serving time as a central administrator at the University of Regensburg, is aware how his book could help anchor American Studies in a changing German university environment and recruit students to an exciting interdisciplinary field. In the turmoil of the contemporary American university climate, we could do well to recruit this Einführung to our cause. University of Wyoming Eric J. Sandeen
