Popular Culture
Michael Germana teaches courses in American Literature and American Studies in WVU’s Department of English. His research explores the intersections of critical race theory, popular cultural studies, and economics in literature. He is the author of Standards of Value: Money, Race, and Literature in America, in which he illustrates how tectonic shifts in U.S. monetary policy correspond to strategic changes by American novelists who drew analogies between money and race in an ongoing effort to renegotiate the value of racial difference. His essays on money and American literature have been published in American Literary History, American Periodicals, and Arizona Quarterly.
