New American Studies Journal

I received an e-mail today about a new periodical: Journal of American Studies. It might be a good resource for AMS 205. Here's a description:
Journal of American Studies seeks to critique and interrogate the notion of "America", pursuing this through international perspectives on the history, literature, politics and culture of the United States. [...] The journal is intended not only for students and scholars, but also for general readers with an interest in the United States.
You can see their homepage here and the full-text contents of their most recent issue here. My favorite article so far? "Benjamin Franklin and the Leather-Apron Men: The Politics of Class in Eighteenth-Century Philadelphia."
