Learn to critically examine the assumptions of American culture
Rereading America is a favorite among students because it works. Watch yourself grow as a critical thinker and writer as you grapple with diverse readings that challenge you to reexamine deeply held cultural assumptions, such as viewing success solely as the result of hard work. The text offers you a proven framework for revisiting, revising, or defending those assumptions as you probe the myths underlying them.
