\u3ci\u3eThe Guide to United States Popular Culture\u3c/i\u3e

To understand the history and spirit of America, one must know its wars, its laws, and its presidents. To really understand it, however, one must also know its cheeseburgers, its love songs, and its lawn ornaments. The long-awaited Guide to the United States Popular Culture provides a single-volume guide to the landscape of everyday life in the United States. Scholars, students, and researchers will find in it a valuable tool with which to fill in the gaps left by traditional history. All American readers will find in it, one entry at a time, the story of their lives. —Robert Thompson, President, Popular Culture Association.https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/facultybooks/1183/thumbnail.jp
