      The United States is one of the most diverse nations in the world. Its dynamic population of about 300 million boasts more than 30 million foreign-born individuals who speak numerous languages and dialects. Some one million new immigrants arrive each year, many from Asia and Latin America.

      Literature in the U.S today is likewise dazzlingly diverse, exciting, and evolving. New voices have arisen from many quarters, challenging old ideas and adapting literary traditions to suit changing conditions of the national life. Social and economic advances have enabled previously underrepresented groups to express themselves more fully.

      It is clear that American literature at the turn of the 21^st century has become democratic and heterogeneous. Regionalism has flowered, and international, or “global”, writers refract U.S culture through foreign perspectives.
