This essential introduction to American studies examines the core
foundational myths upon which the nation is based and which still
determine discussions of US-American identities today. These myths
include the myth of "discovery," the Pocahontas myth, the myth of
the Promised Land, the myth of the Founding Fathers, the melting
pot myth, the myth of the West, and the myth of the self-made man.
The chapters provide extended analyses of each of these myths,
using examples from popular culture, literature, memorial culture,
school books, and every-day life. Including visual material as well
as study questions, this book will be of interest to any student of
American studies and will foster an understanding of the United
States of America as an imagined community by analyzing the
foundational role of myths in the process of nation building.
