Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A fascinating account of the art of the US Bicentennial, offering wide-ranging perspectives on debates about national identity and history that remain pressing today In 1976 the United States celebrated its two hundredth year with festivals, exhibitions, works of art, and historical initiatives. Planning for the Bicentennial spanned postwar prosperity, political activism, and, toward the end, fear of national decline. The social alchemy of these conditions produced a national investment in shared cultural experience never matched before or since. Across wildly disparate venues, demographics, interests, presidencies, and geographies, Bicentennial cultural production contended with community, the environment, immigration, heritage, technology, and what it meant to be American. This outpouring of projects featured centrally in national debates, and it elicited mass participation in negotiating US history and imagining the nation's future. What Was America? offers a prismatic view of American art and culture in the years leading up to 1976. Ten fascinating case studies examine the individual efforts of artists such as Benny Andrews; blockbuster exhibitions including A Nation of Nations at the Smithsonian; and popular community projects like protest quilts and time capsules. The authors consider issues that remain highly relevant today and offer new perspectives on the possibilities for art's social role, exploring its use in defining the nation's past and future, its purpose and its people. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
