The term ‘American’ should always be contested.

50 years ago you could legitimately argue that the American poor had no access to “the means of cultural production”—is that still true?

You don’t have to travel far, if at all, to be a tourist in your own neighborhood.

Americans are generally bad at making friendships across class lines. We don’t drink, worship, or get our hair cut with one another.

In the end, I’d like being an American a lot more if I knew we really took care of each other.
