Beschreibung

Looking for America: The Visual Production of Nation and People is a groundbreaking collection that explores the "visual" in defining the kaleidoscope of American experience and American identity in the 20th century. * Covers enduringly important topics in American history: nationhood, class, politics of identity, and the visual mapping of "others" * Includes editorial introductions, suggested readings, a primer on how to "read" an image, and a guide to visual archives and collections * Well-illustrated book for those in American Studies and related fields eager to incorporate the visual into their teaching--and telling--of the American story.

Rezensionen

Alice Kessler-Harris, Columbia University
"This collection is an invigorating, even stunning, revelation. I left it feeling as if I had learned a new language. Congratulations to Ardis Cameron for the creative insight with which she has woven together an argument for the indispensable value of 'looking' into the past."
Joan W. Scott, Institute for Advanced Study
"This book illuminates the role of the visual in constructions of American national identity. Most impressive is the demonstration that vision itself is not transparent, but an instrument that shapes, even as it is shaped by, relations of power."
