Raczka mines the works of eighteen artists for notions of America's identity. The text uses contrasts in language ("America is natural wonders / America is man-made marvels") and art styles (paintings, photographs, sculptures) to effectively convey a theme that America is heterogeneous in history, thinking, and style. Thumbnails and information about the works are appended.
