" America stocks its shelves with mass-produced goods but fills
its imagination with handmade folk objects. In Pennsylvania, the
""back to the city"" housing movement causes a conflict of
cultures. In Indiana, an old tradition of butchering turtles for
church picnics evokes both pride and loathing among residents. In
New York, folk-art exhibits raise choruses of adoration and
protest. These are a few of the examples Simon Bronner uses to
illustrate the ways Americans physically and mentally grasp things.
Bronner moves beyond the usual discussions of form and variety in
America's folk material culture to explain historical influences
on, and the social consequences of, channeling folk culture into a
mass society.
