Edited by Scott Michaelsen and David E. Johnson

CR: The New Centennial Review is devoted to comparative studies of the Americas that suggest possibilities for a different future. Centennial Review is published three times a year under the editorship of Scott Michaelsen (Department of English, Michigan State University) and David E. Johnson (Department of Comparative Literature, SUNY at Buffalo). 

The journal recognizes that the language of the Americas is translation, and that questions of translation, dialogue, and border crossings (linguistic, cultural, national, and the like) are necessary for rethinking the foundations and limits of the Americas. Journal articles address philosophically inflected interventions, provocations, and insurgencies that question the existing configuration of the Americas, as well as global and theoretical work with implications for the hemisphere.


In memory of journalist Anthony Shadid (1968-2012), CR invites you to read his contribution to Vol. 8:1, Spring 2008, "The Long War: Loss and Nostalgia in the Middle East," which was part of a special issue entitled Cultures of Occupation. The article can be accessed for free by clicking here.



CR Vol. 11:1, a special issue, “Drawing (on) Borges,” features a gallery of artwork from “Pintando a Borges/Painting Borges,” a special exposition curated by Jorge J. E. Gracia and devoted to Borges and painting, which was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the Universidad Católica Argentina, June 23–25, 2010. All images appear courtesy of the artists.

Vol. 11:2 Animals…In Theory

Vol. 12:1 Toward a New Parallax: Or, Japan- In Another Transveral of the Trans-Pacific
