About

Rereading America is a favorite among students because it works. Watch yourself grow as a critical thinker and writer as you grapple with cross-curricular readings that not only engage, but also challenge you to reexamine deeply held cultural assumptions, such as viewing success solely as the result of hard work. Extensive apparatus offers you a proven framework for revisiting, revising, or defending those assumptions as you probe the myths underlying them. Rereading America has stayed at the forefront of American culture, contending with cultural myths as they persist, morph, and develop anew. The eleventh edition features a refreshed collection of readings with more writing instruction, to help you apply to your own writing the strategies used in the readings.
