This study counters the view that Franklin D. Roosevelt
hegemonically exalted Thomas Jefferson to iconic dominance during
the Great Depression. It analyzes the diversity of those who
appropriated Jefferson to find answers to the socio-economic crisis
and modern industrial capitalism. This discourse analysis, spanning
the ideological spectrum between 1929-1945, reveals that the
creation of the Jefferson icon-in various forms of
representation-generated counterhegemonic varieties of Jefferson
because the appropriators grafted their values onto the historical
figure which led to its transformation. These competing versions of
Jefferson expressed a reformed sense of national values not only
through commonalities but through the flexibility of interpretative
and representational differences.
