"This book is of a significant contribution to the global mixed race literature, being the first Norwegian contribution in the field. The book consists of rich theoretical discussions with empirical material. The book is recommended to all scholars and students interested in the question of not only race and ethnicity in the Nordic context but also mixed identity and experiences in a global perspective." - Sayaka Osanami Törngren - Malmö University, Sweden

"Robert Stam takes on the world—world literature, world cinema, world digital media, even world music—in this heaven-storming encyclopedia that shows what happens to all sorts of entertainment when it crosses national and cultural borders and gets reconceptualized, rebranded, marginalized, reviled, hailed, or all of the above. Although his canvas is vast, Stam is less a synthesizer intent on providing a single authoritative map revealing the relations among world literature, postcolonial literature, and transnational cinema than an effervescent and monumentally well-informed tour guide who wants to raise our consciousness, or a big-top carnival barker who invites us to celebrate carnival culture." 
Thomas Leitch, University of Delaware
"World Literature, Transnational Cinema, and Global Media stages a much needed, layered, and illuminating dialogue between the related fields of literature, cinema, and media studies. All marked by a 'transnational turn', these fields share various methodologies and concerns, yet rarely talk to and learn from each other. In a beautifully orchestrated polylogue that engages fresh voices and perspectives, Stam not only addresses but actually moves across various kinds of borders—spatial, temporal, discursive, disciplinary, mediatic, textual—with incredible deftness, scope, and insight. In this invaluable book, border-crossing or 'trans' in all its permutations is not just a buzz word but an epistemological prerogative, a necessary way of thinking and understanding."
Meta Mazaj, Univesity of Pennsylvania
"Robert Stam’s pivotal position in film and literary studies is once again confirmed with this book, a sweeping account of how literature, film and all other arts converse beyond national and medial borders. Stam, like no-one else, can make sense of the jargon of 'trans', 'inter' and 'global' that litters contemporary academic vocabulary. Away from easy sloganeering and drawing on his truly encyclopaedic erudition in art history and theory, he weaves these terms into a 'network of activism', as he calls it, in order to effectively combat ideas of 'primacies' and 'centres' so dear to the colonial project. Stam’s luminous scholarship is ferociously political, but equally compelling for its openness to the beauty of the arts, languages and cultures of the entire world."
Lúcia Nagib, University of Reading
"In the 21st century most cultural fields such as cinema, literature, and music have abandoned their national identities for a global practice in which different traditions and forms pass through new crucibles of creativity. Yet while their critical reception has acknowledged the irruption of the global within them, Robert Stam is the first to demonstrate that global also means the crossing of different fields with each other. This brilliant study of transcreativity across contemporary cultures offers the first analysis of the transformative power of globalization across the media."
Robert J. C.Young, New York University

"West argues that same-sex marriage proponents should not rule morality out, as the courts have done, but take morality on.  She convincingly articulates an affirmative moral case that the ‘good’ of marriage—fostering intimacy and care giving for dependents—applies equally to homosexual and heterosexual couples."

Praise for Presidents and the Media
Communication technologies have fundamentally changed how the president interacts with the public, transforming the nature of representative democracy. This book offers a cutting-edge portrayal of how changes in media affect presidential actions and his ability to influence the public. It is a must-read for anyone interested in representative democracy.
James N. Druckman, Northwestern University

Timely and relevant amid cries of fake news, Stephen Frantzich’s thorough overview of the connection between the presidency and media shows how their relationship has existed and continues to evolve under the Trump Administration. This book is accessible to undergraduate students, and it is also a useful compendium for scholars of the presidency and news media.
Matthew Eshbaugh-Soha, University of North Texas

Presidents and the Media: The Communicator in Chief is a thorough and thoughtful treatment of an increasingly important topic. It should be required reading for those who want to understand the 21st century version of the public presidency.
Irwin Lester Morris, University of Maryland
Stephen Frantzich’s compelling new book offers a wealth of important insights on the evolving relationship between modern American presidents and the media. This comprehensive account illuminates this symbiotic, tension-filled relationship from the perspectives of the nation’s chief executive, the media, and the public. Frantzich’s crisp writing and engaging analysis shed important light on the changing strategies and techniques that presidents and the media use in their efforts to inform and shape the opinions of the American people.
