They explore how the various cultural expressions of German speakers helped them bridge regional, religious, and denominational divides and eventually find a way to partake in America's emerging national identity. Instead of thinking about early American culture and literature as evolving continuously as a singular entity, the contributions to this volume conceive of it as an ever-shifting and tangled \"web of contact zones.\" They present a society with a plurality of different native and colonial cultures interacting not only with one another but also with cultures and traditions from outside the colonies, in a \"peculiar mixture\" of Old World practices and New World influences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAside from the editors, the contributors are Rosalind J.
