Synopsis

Looking for America: The Visual Production of Nation and People is a groundbreaking collection that explores the "visual" in defining the kaleidoscope of American experience and American identity in the 20th century.

• Covers enduringly important topics in American history: nationhood, class, politics of identity, and the visual mapping of "others"
  
• Includes editorial introductions, suggested readings, a primer on how to "read" an image, and a guide to visual archives and collections
  
• Well-illustrated book for those in American Studies and related fields eager to incorporate the visual into their teaching--and telling--of the American story.
