Becoming America examines the evolution of American identity through the lens of a significant private collection of folk art and material culture. By analyzing objects ranging from utilitarian tools to decorative household items, the volume explores how these artifacts reflect the social, economic, and aesthetic values of early American life. This scholarly survey provides a nuanced look at the craftsmanship and cultural narratives embedded within the nation's historical domestic landscape.
