"John R. Eperjesi's The Imperialist Imaginary: Visions of Asia and the Pacific in American Culture comprises a deft, field-challenging intervention into postcolonial American studies . . . Eperjesi proves a theoretically informed scholar who approaches long-standing problems of American geopolitical culture, regional definition, and global history with speculative daring, cultural sophistication, and elegant insight into the workings of economic and cultural imperialism.
