    • 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.

      The good old days
      Let freedom ring
      Spreading democracy
      A nation of immigrants
      Traditional family values
      One nation under God
      Home of the brave
      Give me liberty
      Good guy with a gun
      A new world
      This land is your land
      A car in every garage
      White picket fences
      Wish you were here
      As American as
      The old ballgame
      Down on the farm
      Made in America
      Streets paved with gold
      Nose to the grindstone
      We the people.
