Annotation | This anthology deals with the `American Dream`, illustrating a notion essential to an understanding of the U.S. with texts and pictures ranging from its European roots to contemporary doubts about its feasibility. 19 texts from various genres together with more than 60 illustrations, ranging from paintings to photographs and from cartoons to diagrams, trace the development of the `Dream` concept, discuss its constantly changing implications, illustrate the discrepancy between its promises and a faulty reality, and deal with two of its essential elements: the myth of success and the notion of American exceptionalism. The texts are complemented by background information, vocabulary aids, cultural explanations and structured assignments and thus help the students to gain important insights into one of humankind`s most enduring visions while also raising awareness of the reasons for its increasing loss of credibility. The accompanying Resource Book provides thorough interpredations of each text as well as detailed commentaries on its cultural context and historical background. |
