Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Distinguish

Шаблон:Infobox organization The American Literature Association (ALA) is "a coalition of societies devoted to the study of American authors".[1] It has some 110 affiliated societies, mostly concerned with the work of a particular author (e.g. the Emily Dickinson International Society or the Thoreau Society), some thematic such as the Society of Early Americanists.[2] It was founded in 1989.[3]

It holds an annual conference, alternating between east coast and west coast venues, attracting about 850 delegates.[3] Some societies choose to have one of their own main meetings as part of the ALA conference,[4] and many sessions of the conference are sponsored by member societies.[5] There are no plenary sessions at the conference, but seven or eight simultaneous events in each time slot.[3]

The ALA has an executive board and a "Council of American Authors Societies", which represents the member organizations. The executive director is Alfred Bendixen, who has held this post since the association's beginnings in 1989.[3]
