“It's partly the Southernization of America, in that the Southern working-class version of redneck is becoming the national version, and it's good-natured, it has humor and, in some ways, it's a performance.” WayAmericaClassBecomingPerformancesVersionsSouthernWorking ClassPartingRedneck Author:Robert Charles Wilson
“But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.” PeopleIfsMenTryingSoulFactsAmericaTurnsHouseLanguageRoomsBecomingLoyaltyDividedEnglish LanguageNationalityAllegianceCrucibleDwellersPolyglotsBoarding House Book:Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia Source: Theodore Roosevelt Cyclopedia
“The landscape, like Los Angeles itself, is transitional. Impermanence haunts the city, with its mushroom industries--the aircraft perpetually becoming obsolete, the oil which must one day be exhausted, the movies which fill America's theatres for six months and are forgotten. Many of its houses--especially the grander ones--have a curiously disturbing atmosphere, a kind of psychological dankness which smells of anxiety, overdrafts, uneasy lust, whisky, divorce and lies.” KindAmericaLyingHouseCitiesMonthsIndustryBecomingOne DayAnxietySixForgottenDivorceSmellOilTheatreLustPsychologicalLandscapeAtmosphereLos AngelesExhaustedSix MonthsDisturbingObsoleteImpermanenceMushroomsUneasyAircraftWhiskyBecoming Obsolete Author:Christopher Isherwood
“The people of America are red, white, black, yellow, and all the shades in between. Their eyes are blue, black, and brown, and all the shades in between. Their hair is straight, curly, kinky, and most of it in between. They are tall and short, slim and fat, athletic and anaemic, and most of them in between. They are the different peoples of the world becoming more and more the "in between." They are a people creating a new bridge of mankind in between the past of narrow nationalistic chauvinism and the horizon of a new mankind--a people of the world. Their face is the face of the future.” PeopleWorldDifferentEyeAmericaPastFacesBlackWhiteMankindHairBecomingCreatingRedBlueFatsBridgesBrownTallHorizonShadeYellowAthleticDifferent PeoplesBecoming MoreSlimKinkyChauvinismNationalistic Book:Reveille for Radicals Source: Reveille for Radicals
