The tie that binds all Americans, regardless of their demographic
background, is faith in the American system of government. This
faith manifests as a form of civil, or secular, religion with its
own core documents, creeds, oaths, ceremonies, and even
individuals. In The Rhetoric of American Civil Religion: Symbols,
Sinners, and Saints, contributors seek to examine some of those
core elements of American faith by exploring the proverbial saints,
sinners and dominant symbols of the American system.
US Public Memory, Rhetoric, and the National Mall examines "the
nation's front yard," understanding it as both a public face the
United States presents to the world and a site where its less
apparent moral story is told. This book provides a uniquely
thorough, interdisciplinary, and integrated examination of how the
National Mall shares a moral story of the United States and, in so
doing, reveals the soul of the nation. The contributors explore 11
different memorials, monuments, and museums found across the Mall,
considering how each rhetorically remembers a key element of the
nation's past, what the rhetorical memory tells us about the
nation's soul, and how each site must thus be understood in
relation to the commemorative landscape of the Mall.
