Description
At the same time a reading of Kenneth Burke and of tourist landscapes in America, Gregory Clark’s new study explores the rhetorical power connected with American tourism. He examines the rhetorical power of these sites to transform private individuals into public citizens, and he evaluates a national culture that teaches Americans to experience certain places as potent symbols of national community.
