Contents:
Reading white trash : class, race, and mobility in Faulkner and Le Sueur -- Incorporation and embodiment : gender, race, and space in Hurst and Himes -- Who's got the car keys? : geographic, economic, and social mobility in the magic kingdom of Los Angeles -- Black-audience westerns : race, nation, and mobility in the 1930s -- Space, class, city : imagined geographies of Maud Martha -- Home on the range : space, nation, and mobility in The searchers.
Summary: American Mobilities investigates representations of mobility - social, economic, geographic - in American film and literature during the Depression, WWII, and the early Cold War. With an emphasis on the dual meaning of "domestic, " referring to both the family home and the nation, this study traces the important trope of mobility that runs through the "American" century. Juxtaposing canonical fiction with popular, and low-budget independent films with Classical Hollywood, Leyda brings the analytic tools of American cultural and literary studies to bear on an eclectic array of primary texts as she builds a case for the significance of mobility in the study of the United States.--
