Attribution
Daniel FrickPublication Details
BookUniversity Press of Kansas2008Description
He cites reinventions of Nixon from the late 1980s, particularly the museum at the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace, to demonstrate the resilience of certain national mythic narratives in the face of liberal critiques. With dozens of illustrations–Nixon posing with Elvis (the National Archives’ most requested photo), Nixonian cultural artifacts, classic editorial cartoons–no other book collects in one place such varied images of Nixon from so many diverse media. Whether your image of Nixon is shaped by his autobiography Six Crises, Oliver Stone’s surprisingly sympathetic film Nixon, John Adams’s landmark opera Nixon in China, or by the saga of Watergate, Reinventing Richard Nixon expands on all perspectives.
