Usable Pasts

In Usable Pasts, fourteen authors examine the manipulation of traditional expressions among a variety of groups from the United States and Canada: the development of a pictorial style by Navajo weavers in response to traders, Mexican American responses to the appropriation of traditional foods by Anglos, the expressive forms of communication that engender and sustain a sense of community in an African American women\u27s social club and among elderly Yiddish folksingers in Miami Beach, the incorporation of mass media images into the C&Ts (customs and traditions) of a Boy Scout troop, the changing meaning of their defining Exodus-like migration to Mormons, Newfoundlanders\u27 appropriation through the rum-drinking ritual called the Schreech-In of outsiders\u27 stereotypes, outsiders\u27 imposition of the once-despised lobster as the emblem of Maine, the contest over Texas\u27s heroic Alamo legend and its departures from historical fact, and how yellow ribbons were transformed from an image in a pop song to a national symbol of resolve.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/usupress_pubs/1068/thumbnail.jp
