Attribution
Jerrold HirschPublication Details

Although the immediate context of the FWP was work relief, national FWP officials developed programs that spoke to much larger and longer-standing debates over the nature of American identity and culture and the very definition of who was an American. Hirsch reviews the founding of the FWP and the significance of its American Guide series, considering the choices made by administrators who wanted to celebrate diversity as a positive aspect of American cultural identity.

Pragmatism And The Political Economy Of Cultural Revolution, 1850-1940

Attribution
James LivingstonPublication Details
BookUniversity of North Carolina Press1997Description
This attempt still shapes our reading of pragmatism, Livingston claims, and will continue to do so until we understand that William James was not merely a well-meaning middleman between Charles Peirce and John Dewey and that James’s pragmatism was both a working model of postmodern subjectivity and a novel critique of capitalism.

Our America : Nativism, Modernism, And Pluralism

Attribution
Walter Benn MichaelsPublication Details
BookDuke University Press1995Description
Arguing that the contemporary commitment to the importance of cultural identity has renovated rather than replaced an earlier commitment to racial identity, Walter Benn Michaels asserts that the idea of culture, far from constituting a challenge to racism, is actually a form of racism. Michaels?s sustained rereading of the texts of the period?the canonical, the popular, and the less familiar?exposes recurring concerns such as the reconception of the image of the Indian as a symbol of racial purity and national origins, the relation between World War I and race, contradictory appeals to the family as a model for the nation, and anxieties about reproduction that subliminally tie whiteness and national identity to incest, sterility, and impotence.
