Promey analyses religion's visible saturation of American public space and the histories that shaped this exhibitionary aesthetics. In street art, vehicle décor, signs, monuments, architecture, zoning policy, and more, Promey exposes American display's merger of evangelicalism, capitalism, and imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom this convergence, display materialises a distinctly American drive to advertise, claim territory, invalidate competitors, and fabricate a tractable national heritage. Charting this aesthetics' strategic work as a Protestant technology of White nation formation, \u003cem\u003eReligion in Plain View\u003c\/em\u003e offers a dynamic critique of the ways public display perpetuates deeply ingrained assumptions about the proper shape of life and land in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432118763756,"sku":"9780226832333","price":75.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226832333.jpg?v=1774556823","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/religion-in-plain-view-by-professor-sally-m-promey-9780226832333","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
