Proud to be an American: Nature, Nostalgia and Americentrism in the US Passport

Fri, November 13, 12:30 to 1:45pm, Palmer House Hilton, Floor: Third Floor, Salon 4

Abstract

The US passport unveiled in 2007, named The American Icon, embodies a particular sense of American identity through the quotes and images visible on every page. This analysis of the passport addresses the overarching themes of the passport–Nature, Nostalgia, and Americentrism–and how the passport serves as a symbol of US citizenship.
