What is America's national identity? This study offers an insight into this question. It argues that this identity is constructed rather than essential and reflects the politics of exclusion. This identificatory exclusion has been globalized through American economic, cultural, political and military expansion. The study draws upon poetry, literature, art, architecture, gangsta rap, landscape and cityscape, to illuminate the construction of America's national identity and illustrates how this has been globalized in an increasingly post modernist condition.
