Surveyors of Customs

American Literature as Cultural Analysis

Beschreibung

Surveyors of Customs explores literature's insights into how America¿its soft capitalism, its "democratized" inequality, its Americanization of power¿"ticks." Joel Pfister argues that writers from Benjamin Franklin to Louise Erdrich can be read as critical "surveyors" of customs, culture, hegemony, capitalism's emotional logic, and much else.
