Washington was first known as the "Father of His Country" during his lifetime, when the American people bestowed the title upon him as a symbolic act of resistance and rebirth. Since then, presidents have stood as paternal figureheads for America, often serving as moral beacons. This book tracks political fatherhood throughout world history, from the idea of the pater patriae in Roman antiquity to Martin Luther's Bible translations and beyond. Often using George Washington as a paradigm, this book explores presidential iconography in the U.S., propaganda and the role of paternal rhetoric in shaping American sociopolitical history-including the results of the 2016 presidential election."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Washington, George, $d 1732-1799 $x Public opinion. 600 10 $a Washington, George, $d 1732-1799 $x Portraits. 600 17 $a Washington, George, $d 1732-1799. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00178100 650 0 $a Public opinion $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Symbolism $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Fatherhood $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Collective memory $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Social values $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Leadership $x Moral and ethical aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Collective memory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739814 650 7 $a Leadership $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994713 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Portraits. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072324 650 7 $a Presidents $x Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075796 650 7 $a Public opinion. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082785 650 7 $a Social values. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123424 650 7 $a Symbolism $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01140753 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200603013553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A77440EEA55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
