Portrait Of America : A Cultural History Of The Federal Writers’ Project

Attribution
Jerrold Hirsch
Publication Details
Book, University of North Carolina Press, 2003
Description
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.

Death Of A Nation : American Culture And The End Of Exceptionalism

Attribution
David W. Noble ; foreword by George Lipsitz
Publication Details
Book, University of Minnesota Press, 2002
Description
In the 1940s, American thought experienced a cataclysmic paradigm shift. Before then, national ideology was shaped by American exceptionalism and bourgeois nationalism: elites saw themselves as the children of a homogeneous nation standing outside the history and culture of the Old World. While Noble illustrates the challenges that the paradigm shift created, he also suggests solutions that will help scholars avoid romanticized and reductive approaches toward the study of American culture in the future.

Native American Political Systems And The Evolution Of Democracy : An Annotated Bibliography

Attribution
compiled by Bruce E. Johansen
Publication Details
Book, Greenwood Press, 1996
Description
For more than a decade scholars have debated the question of whether American Indian confederacies, primarily the Iroquois, helped influence the formation of U.S. basic law. The idea has sparked lively debate in the public arena as well, with Canadian diplomat Durling Voyce-Jones contending it shows a paradigm shift in our thinking, Patrick Buchanan calling it “idiocy,” and George Will saying it’s “fiction.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

The Beaten Track : European Tourism, Literature, And The Ways To Culture, 1800-1918

Attribution
James Buzard
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 1992
Description
Drawing on a wide range of texts from literature, travel writing, guidebooks, periodicals, and business histories, the book shows how a democratizing and institutionalizing tourism gave rise to new formulations about what constitutes “authentic” cultural experience. This elegantly written book brings up debates in cultural studies concerning the ideology of leisure and concludes that in this period tourism became an exemplary cultural practice appearing to be both popularly accessible and exclusive.
