Opis

An examination of self-representation in US culture. Drawing on studies of the history of the book, Pierre Bourdieu's sociology, and ethnic and gender revisionism, it focuses on the processes of national development, the self-construction of authorial personae and the appropriation of the personae by interpretive communities.
