Teach students to critically examine the assumptions of American culture

Rereading America remains the most widely adopted book of its kind because it works: instructors tell us time and again that theyve watched their students grow as critical thinkers and writers as they grapple with diverse readings that not only engage them, but also challenge them to reexamine deeply held cultural assumptions, such as viewing success solely as the result of hard work. Extensive apparatus offers students a proven framework for revisiting, revising, or defending those assumptions as students probe the myths underlying them. Rereading America has stayed at the forefront of American culture, contending with cultural myths as they persist, morph, and develop anew. The twelfth edition features new co-author and experienced composition instructor Uzzie T. Cannon, a refreshed collection of readings, and a new chapter that explores myths of justice in the context of economic and racial equity, immigration, and the environment. For the first time, Rereading America is available with Achieve, a flexible, integrated suite of online tools designed to support feedback, peer review, revision, and reflection. Assessments and opportunities for practice in Achieve promote student engagement and save instructors time.

New to This Edition

“This is the most effective text I have encountered as an educator. No other text has drawn praise from my students the way Rereading America has. I dont have to convince them they have something powerful in their hands; they discover on their own.” --Rick Garza, Reedley College “From the community college classroom to the competitive private college lecture hall, Rereading America is an excellent resource for generating thought-provoking discussions and essays. I can’t think of a better, more challenging, or more varied reader for an introduction to composition course.” --Jeffrey Susla, University of Hartford “ Rereading America is by far the best textbook of its kind on the market. The essays challenge students into new thinking, and their papers demonstrate the critical thinking skills that will facilitate their success in college beyond the composition classroom.” --Nancy Botkin, Indiana University–South Bend

Purchase options and add-ons

Rereading America remains the most widely adopted book of its kind because it works: instructors tell us time and again that they've watched their students grow as critical thinkers and writers as they grapple with cross-curricular readings that not only engage them, but also challenge them to reexamine deeply held cultural assumptions, such as viewing success solely as the result of hard work. Extensive apparatus offers students a proven framework for revisiting, revising, or defending those assumptions as students probe the myths underlying them. Rereading America has stayed at the forefront of American culture, contending with cultural myths as they persist, morph, and develop anew.

The eleventh edition features a refreshed collection of readings with an updated chapter that introduces students to one of the most pervasive myths of our time: technological innovation fosters an improved society. Also in response to instructors' requests for more writing instruction, there are now more questions that help students apply to their own writing the strategies used in the readings.

About the author

Sarah boxer.

I am a writer of non-fiction and graphic fiction from Denver, Colorado. I published my first comic when I was 11. I started reading Freud at age 15. I graduated with a degree in philosophy at Harvard. I have drawn & written two psycho-comics --"In the Floyd Archives: A Psycho-Bestiary," a cartoon novel based on Freud's case histories, and its post-Freudian sequel "Mother May I?: A Post-Floydian Folly," a cartoon novel based (very lightly) on the lives and works of Melanie Klein and D.W. Winnicott. I have also edited an anthology "Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks From the Wild Web."

In my spare time, I write essays and reviews for The Atlantic, The New York Review of Books, The Comics Journal, The L.A Review of Books, The New York Times, Photograph, Slate, and Artforum. For many years I was on the staff of The New York Times (1998-2006) where I was, at various points, a photo critic, a Web critic, an arts reporter, an editor at The Week in Review, and an editor at The Book Review.

I have composed a book of poetry, "Datebook 2013: 365 Poems in Memory of a Lost Year." And I am now working on a memoir and a series of Shakespearean tragic-comics (with animals), which includes "Hamlet: Prince of Pigs" ​and "Anchovius Caesar: The Decomposition of a Romaine Salad." I lived for many years with many roommates in New York City. I now live in Washington, D.C. with my husband (an art curator) and my son (a cartoonist and poet). I used to have a dog who was a mess. Now I have two very together sister cats, both named after small Colorado towns.
