Presidential Libraries As Performance - Curating American Character From Herbert Hoover to George W. Bush

Klappentext Who has a stake in the way a president's public image is presented? How do the performances in a presidential museum shape our understanding of the president as a subject? And how do diverse performances of the presidency create different opportunities for the practice of citizenship? Jodi Kanter considers these questions and more and analyses presidential libraries and museums as performances that create important models for civic behaviour.
