Summary:"America Redux explores the themes that create our shared sense of American identity and interrogates the myths we've been telling ourselves for centuries. With iconic American catchphrases as chapter titles, these twenty-one visual stories illuminate the astonishing, unexpected, sometimes darker sides of history that reverberate in our society to this very day--from the role of celebrity in immigration policy to the influence of one small group of white women on education to the effects of 'progress' on housing and the environment, to the inspiring force of collective action and mutual aid across decades and among diverse groups."--Front cover flap.
-
Notes:"Fully illustrated with collaged archival photographs, maps, documents, graphic elements, and handwritten text"--Front cover flap.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 276-289) and index.

The good old days
Let freedom ring
Spreading democracy
A nation of immigrants
Traditional family values
One nation under God
Home of the brave

Nose to the grindstone
We the people.
