“<i>Materializing Democracy</i> is an excellent and exciting collection of essays by a group of distinguished scholars who together address both the promises and limits of current and historical practices and theories of American democracy. This book will appeal to scholars and students across the disciplines who are interested in the intersection of culture, politics, national identity, and citizenship.”—Amy Kaplan, coeditor of <i>Cultures of United States Imperialism</i>
“The editors of <i>Materializing Democracy</i> have a vision—an activist vision—that, combined with rigorous analysis and scholarship, imparts an unusual energy and excitement to this volume.”—Priscilla Wald, author of <i>Constituting Americans: Cultural Anxiety and Narrative Form</i>
