Main Street and Empire: The Fictional Small Town in the Age of Globalization - The American Literatures Initiative
Ryan Poll
Argues that the small town, as evoked by the image of ""Main Street"", is not a relic of the past but rather a metaphorical screen upon which the US's ""everyday"" stories and subjects are projected on both a national and global level. It brings together a wide range of literary, cultural, and political texts to examine how the small town is used to imagine and reproduce the nation.
