More about the book

The book explores the intersection of literature and civic education, emphasizing the importance of literary works in shaping and challenging civic myths related to citizenship. Brook Thomas argues that compelling narratives can redefine national identity and values by engaging with and questioning existing conflicts surrounding citizenship. Through selected literary examples, he illustrates how stories can both confront and reinforce these myths, ultimately enriching the discourse on citizenship for contemporary Americans.
