Urging American studies as a field to address the international crisis, the author’s 2003 presidential address to the American Studies Association analyzes the dramatic shift in public discourse under the George W. Bush administration, from the denial to the embrace of the notion of the American Empire. Two sites are central to this imperial discourse: "the homeland" and Guantanamo. Imposing the illusion of national homogeneity, "homeland" underwrites resurgent nativism and anti-immigrant sentiment. In the incarceration of prisoners at the US naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the nineteenth-century history of US intervention in the Caribbean meets twentieth-century intervention in the Middle East. A new postscript follows these alarming trends under the Obama administration.]
