People is a groundbreaking collection that explores the

nationhood, class, politics of identity, and the visual mapping of
“others”

on how to "read" an image, and a guide to visual archives and
collections
- Well-illustrated book for those in American Studies and related fields eager to incorporate the visual into their teaching—and telling—of the American story.
