When It Comes To The Production And Distribution Of Mass Culture, No Country In Modern Times Has Come Close To Rivaling The Success Of America. From Blue Jeans In Central Europe To Elvis Presley'S Face On A Republic Of Chad Postage Stamp, The Reach Of American Mass Culture Extends Into Every Corner Of The Globe. Most Believe This Is A Twentiethcentury Phenomenon, But Here Robert W. Rydell And Rob Kroes Prove That Its Roots Are Far Deeper.Buffalo Bill In Bologna Reveals That The Process Of Globalizing American Mass Culture Began As Early As The Midnineteenth Century. In Fact, By The End Of World War I, The United States Already Boasted An Advanced Network Of Culture Industries That Served To Promote American Values. Rydell And Kroes Narrate How The Circuses, Amusement Parks, Vaudeville, Mailorder Catalogs, Dime Novels, And Movies Developed After The Civil Wartools Central To Hastening The Reconstruction Of The Countryactually Doubled As Agents Of American Cultural Diplomacy Abroad. As Symbols Of America'S Version Of The 'Good Life,' Cultural Products Became A Primary Means For People Around The World, Especially In Europe, To Reimagine Both America And Themselves In The Context Of America'S Growing Global Sphere Of Influence. Paying Special Attention To The Role Of The World'S Fairs, The Exporting Of Buffalo Bill'S Wild West Show To Europe, The Release Of The Birth Of A Nation, And Woodrow Wilson'S Creation Of The Committee On Public Information, Rydell And Kroes Offer An Absorbing Tour Through America'S Cultural Expansion At The Turn Of The Century. Buffalo Bill In Bologna Is Thus A Tour De Force That Recasts What Has Been Popularly Understood About This Period Of American And Global History.
