| Sumario: | Following Tradition is an expansive examination of the history of tradition--"one of the most common as well as most contested terms in English language usage"--in Americans' thinking and discourse about culture. Tradition in use becomes problematic because of "its multiple meanings and its conceptual softness."

Folklore, history, American studies, anthropology, cultural studies, and others assign different value and meaning to tradition. |
