Freedomland, U.S.A., 1960-1964 -- Selling multicultural girlhood : the American Girl doll, 1986-present. 520 $a "Since the advent of the American toy industry, children's cultural products have attempted to teach and sell ideas of American identity. By examining cultural products geared towards teaching children American identity, Playing With History highlights the changes and constancies in depictions of the American story and ideals of citizenship over the last one hundred years. The book examines political and ideological messages sold to children throughout the twentieth century, tracing the messages conveyed by racist toy banks, early governmental interventions meant to protect the toy industry, infences and pressures surrounding Cold War stories of the western frontier, and the fractures visible in the American story at a mid-century history themed amusement park. This engaging analysis culminates in a look at the successes and limitations of the American Girl Company empire"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Toys $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Toy industry $z United States $x Marketing. 650 0 $a Child consumers $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Material culture $z United States. 650 0 $a Children $z United States $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 0 $a National characteristics, American $x History. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Child consumers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854389 650 7 $a Children $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855145 650 7 $a Material culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011739 650 7 $a National characteristics, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033342 650 7 $a Toys $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01153511 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 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022305.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC4D32ECEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
