Rereading America: Cultural Contexts for Critical Thinking & Writing Eleventh Edition ISBN-978-1319056360

Because it works, Rereading America is still the most widely used book of its kind. Teachers frequently tell us that they have seen their students develop as writers and critical thinkers as they struggle with cross-curricular readings that not only engage their students but also push them to reconsider deeply ingrained cultural presumptions, like the idea that success comes only from hard work. As students explore the myths that underlie those assumptions, extensive apparatus provides them with a tried-and-true structure for going over, editing, or defending those assumptions again. As cultural myths continue to exist, change, and emerge, rereading America has remained at the forefront of American culture.
