The American Studies Crossroads Project
 
in conjunction with the April 1998 Crossroads Expo
 
is proud to announce
 
SiteScene

to teachers and students of American Studies. Reviews will be
posted every two weeks to the main page of the Crossroads
American Studies Web at

and will also be posted as an email bulletin through Roadsign, the
Crossroads news list, as a supplement to the American Studies
Opportunities & News Index.
 
The general editor of SiteScene is: Jeff Finlay, Administrator,
American Studies Crossroads Project <[log in to unmask]>.

Gamez, Jennifer Harrison, Ed Gallagher, Elvira Jensen Casado, C Junge,
