Sommario/riassunto |
|
Eighty per cent of Americans have no British ancestors. According to David Hackett Fischer, however, their day-to-day lives are profoundly influenced by folkways transplanted from Britain to the New World with the first settlers. This text examines the transfer of values from Old World to New. |
