Remembering Jefferson, Who He Was, Who We Are
Who He Was, Who We Are
Book •
Remembering Jefferson: Who He Was, Who We Are is an exploration of Thomas Jefferson as he has become iconic within the American imagination and what that position explains about not only Jefferson himself, but also what it says about the United States at any particular period in the course of American history.
Stuckey traces the symbolic and iconic Jefferson in a number of distinct areas, each of which communicate different presentations or representations of Jefferson himself but also how we, as citizens, consume the idea of Jefferson.
The next section examines Jefferson in popular culture, particularly in televisual and cinematic popular culture.
The final section of the book assesses Jefferson within children’s literature, since this is also a realm where Jefferson is taking on a civic teaching, and the presentation is about communicating a kind of citizenship to young people.
