America and Americans
by John Steinbeck

ILLUSTRATED
FIRST EDITION/2ND PRINTING
WITH DUST JACKET/MYLAR PROTECTOR

Publisher: The Viking Press, New York
Copyright: 1966

Steinbeck's final book is a meditation on the American people, character, landscape, history, and future. He offers insight on the paradoxes of our political system, the immigrant experience (and our subsequent [mis]treatment of immigrants), the myths that construct our shared American identity, the way we project our identity to the world, our connection to (and destruction of) the land, our economic obsession, the pitfalls of our nation, and how we seem to overcome our flaws to continue progressing as a united people. Steinbeck offers an honest, frank, and highly-subjective analysis (which he freely admits on page one), and he does so out of an obvious abundance of love for the nation and its people. This hardback edition from 1966 is a large book that contains striking black-and-white and color photos, offering a glimpse of the United States in the mid-twentieth century that perfectly compliments Steinbeck's text. Photographs are included from Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Gordon Parks, and Alfred Eisenstaedt, among many others.

Condition: This book is in good condition. Hardcover with DJ. Dust jacket is clean and bright with a slight crease; protected by mylar cover. Boards have some light wear along edges. Text block and photographs are crisp and bright. There is a penciled-in dedication on front flyleaf.
