A New Introduction to American Studies 4th edition provides a coherent portrait of American history, literature, culture and society, and also deals with some of the central themes and preoccupations of American life.

Using fundamental influences like the machine and the city, and subjects such as imagery and icongraphy, myth, national identity, ideology, popular culture and painting are analysed in order to provoke students into thinking about what it actually means to study a culture.

For introductory undergraduate courses in American Studies, American History and American Literature.
