Surveyors of Customs
by Joel Pfister
About
'Surveyors of Custom' explores literature's insights into how America - its soft capitalism, its 'democratised' inequality, its Americanisation of power - ticks. Joel Pfister argues that writers from Benjamin Franklin to Louise Erdrich can be read as critical 'surveyors' of customs, culture, hegemony, capitalism's emotional logic, and much more.
