FDR: A Presidency for American Community

FDR is the president that built the American community. A sense of national pride was restored when he ascended to the presidency. The Great Depression created a sense of lost to the American public and a loss of faith in laissez-faire capitalism championed by Herbert Hoover. Robert Susman’s ‘The Culture of the Thirties,” speaks of the creation of collective interests resulting in the American community. Susman’s piece is the text of FDR’s presidency and what it came to mean to the national character during the dark days of the Depression. Susman explains the redefining of the role of American government, ushering a new welfare state. In this paper, the community that is created because of FDR’s political viewpoint will be analyzed by visual representations of the era.
The Great Depression was a time of great economic peril for the common American citizen. The libertarian republican views of the 1920s and President Hoover left little recourse for the American people stem the horrors of the Depression. President Hoover sought for states and charity from the wealthy American elite would help people to take care of their families. President Hoover did not reassess his political views to account for the monumental distress of the Great Depression. The last number of the film “The Gold Diggers” just scratches the surfaces of the horrors of the Depression on the American character. The sadness demonstrated in the faces of the World War 1 veterans in movie’s last number is representation of the misery that gripped the country was not addressed by the Hoover administration. When FDR came onto the national scene advocating a new form of government it forever changed the American community. Susman’s body of work shows a substantial change in American culture. FDR redefined what is meant to be a free American.

The New American Woman (Paper #2 Draft)

Representation is the societal view of a group. Womanhood in American culture has changed significantly in the last century, but the societal representation of the early part of the century is still prevalent in the American character. The creation of new American ideal woman came into being. However, immigrant and black women did not fit into this new American ideal woman. In the earlier part of the century, there was a negative societal representation of minority womanhood. This paper will show how immigrant and black women changed their demeaning representations.
The demeaning representation of immigrant and black womanhood is…
The new American ideal woman is an independent educated person who has some economic separation from her family, especially from her male family members. Economic independence is the first step to changing societal representations. The second step is to becoming independent is education…
Assimilation is the absorption of the surrounding dominant culture. African American and immigrant women took part in this practice. Assimilation is the easiest way to fit into society because it does not go against the dominant culture. The dominant culture will always be difficult to change because it has mass acceptance and dictates societal attitudes on a vast scale. Assimilation is the foremost form to societal acceptance. African American have taken two different avenues in act of assimilation. One form of black female assimilation was to become the dominant culture, meaning to become white. The practice is called passing which resulted in the contemporary idea that light skin is better. The practice has its roots in slavery and the better status of house slaves who were usually the product of slave and master unions. The other black

In a period when all American women were negotiating behavior and self-presentation between older ideals of domesticity and newer ideals of independent womanhood, how did some black women and some immigrant women and their allies counter the dominant culture’s demeaning significations and make claims for different representations?

female assimilation form was to create a unique African American culture that mirror and improved upon the Anglo Saxon culture, the essay “The New Negro” which is the pragmatic approach. It logical to think that if the dominant culture institution excludes one creates their own institutions that mirror the dominant institutions for acceptance later on. Sara in the novel Bread Givers assimilated into American society. She became an American with her acceptance of the dominant culture.
The idea of becoming American has built American. Immigrants have come to America to take part in our economic might and democracy. Unlike any other country, America is a country built by immigrants and slaves. Kaplan explains who is an American through her analysis of American empire building and the concurrent justification of that policy. American identity is inherently a nationalistic viewpoint. Empire building was politically justified by tying it to the American ideal of frontiersmen bring civilization to uncivilized peoples (i.e.: Native Americans and Filipinos).
