Its fall in 1989 is broadly understood as a pivotal moment in the history of the last century. For years afterward, tourists, locals, and even private businesses shipped fragments from the concrete structure around the world, turning it into a collectible commodity and cultural signifier for the triumph of Western democracy. As Paul Farber argues in framing this book, as the Wall was broken apart, it also solidified itself in the American imagination. But what was the nature and significance of this imaginary? In A wall of our own, Farber addresses this question from the moment of the Wall's creation to the present. He reveals how it has been both a literal and metaphorical presence in American culture, particularly influencing our discourse and ideas about breaking down barriers of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a Berlin Wall (Germany : 1961-1989) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01709753 650 0 $a Berlin Wall, Berlin, Germany, 1961-1989 $x In popular culture. 650 0 $a Berlin Wall, Berlin, Germany, 1961-1989, in art. 650 0 $a Berlin Wall, Berlin, Germany, 1961-1989, in literature. 650 0 $a Politics and culture $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Arts, American $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Cold War $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Arts, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817891 650 7 $a Berlin Wall (Berlin, Germany : 1961-1989) in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00830746 650 7 $a Berlin Wall (Berlin, Germany : 1961-1989) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00830747 650 7 $a Politics and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069952 650 7 $a Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354981 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Studies in United States culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020942.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=634F9EB69FDF11EA86A3D44697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
