The American Center has extended continued support to the American studies associations and universities. We have donated American studies book collections to several universities and provided grants to the Associations to support American studies conferences. USIS regularly sends American studies scholars from all principal universities on Fulbright programs and other USIS Academic Exchange programs, including research grants at the American Studies Research Center in Hyderabad. Designed expressly for university libraries outside the United States, the resulting collection of more than 1,300 volumes is a selective but authoritative library of literature and scholarship intended to provide foreign students, teachers and scholars with the opportunity to increase their understanding of American life and institutions, past and present. The tiles cover the fields of history, literature and poetry, political science, economics, fine and performing arts, government, linguistics, philosophy and communications.
All volumes are new.
