By focusing on a variety of public celebrations and festivities from the Revolution to the early twentieth century, the formative period of American national identity, the authors reveal the complex interrelationships between collective identities on the local, regional, and national level which, over time, shaped the peculiar character of American nationalism. This volume combines vivid descriptions of various public celebrations with a sophisticated methodological and theoretical approach.European studies in American history ;1.Celebrating ethnicity & nationFestivalsUnited StatesCongressesNationalismUnited StatesCongressesEthnicityUnited StatesCongressesFestivalsNationalismEthnicity394.269Heideking Jürgen1947-2000,Fabre GenevièveDreisbach KaiEuropean Association for American Studies.Conference(1998 :Lisbon, Portugal),MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815089903321Celebrating ethnicity and nation4103187UNINA
