Abstract

In ebr co-founder Mark Amerika's speech from Joseph Tabbi's festschrift—originally given at the University of Bergen, Norway—Amerika explores the founding of electronic book review, the radical foresight Tabbi provided, and the journal’s links to post-publishing practice. As part of this, Amerika poses Tabbi's legacy not as something fixed, but as a challenge of continuing reconceptualization.
