Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The ninth largest city in the United States, Dallas is exceptional among American cities for the claims of its elites and boosters that it is a 'city with no limits' and a 'city with no history.' Home to the Dallas Cowboys, self-styled as 'America's Team,' setting for the television series that glamorized its values of self-invention and success, and site of the assassination of John F.

Revealing the power of myths that have defined the city for so long, Graff presents a new interpretation of Dallas that both deepens our understanding of America's urban landscape and enables its residents to envision a more equitable, humane, and democratic future for all.…
