American Political Fictions - 9781137518880

American Political Fictions elucidates the ideological underpinnings, cultural manifestations, and democratic essence of contemporary political art in the context of the cutthroat partisan politics on which such art feeds. It offers a wealth of revisionist insight into the relation between contemporary art engagé and political change and an introduction to the maelstrom of contemporary American politics as seen through the rich lens of literary and cultural expression. While professionals will appreciate the book's clarity and rigour of analysis, the interdisciplinary orientation, and the multiplicity of case studies, general readers will appreciate the non-technical synthesis of the issues at hand, user-friendly (not to say journalistic) style, and diversity of cultural (canonical and popular) references and illustrations.
