People is a groundbreaking collection that explores the

experience and American identity in the 20th century.
- Covers enduringly important topics in American history:
nationhood, class, politics of identity, and the visual mapping of
“others”
- Includes editorial introductions, suggested readings, a primer
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.
