This study examines the effect of race-consciousness upon the
pronunciation of American English and upon the ideology of
standardization in the twentieth century. It shows how the
discourses of prescriptivist pronunciation, the xenophobic reaction
against immigration to the eastern metropolises- especially New
York - and the closing of the western frontier together constructed
an image of the American West and Midwest as the locus of proper
speech and ethnicity. This study is of interest to scholars and
students in linguistics, American studies, cultural studies, Jewish
studies, and studies in race, class, and gender.
