Kennedy, and Barack Obama - Jennifer Wingate examines everyday expressions of national pride and belonging alongside the tension that these displays signal about the state of democracy.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWingate explores how, although keeping political portraits in the home is traditionally associated with authoritarian regimes, the United States also has a long history with the practice as both a patriotic and commemorative act. Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Obama are particularly representative of this history, she contends, as the rise of radio, television, and social media respectively allowed them to enter the intimate spaces of our daily lives in unprecedented ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile photographers and artists such as Jack Delano, Gordon Parks, and Jordan Casteel draw attention to these displays of pride and belonging, they also reveal the tensions that these portraits represent as the artists and their subjects strive to make meaning from national symbols and to locate their place within the imagined community of nationhood. In doing so, Wingate argues, they invite reflection on our hopes and anxieties about the state of our nation's democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Wingate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 166692654X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666926545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Jennifer Wingate","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48447111364863,"sku":"9781666926545","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2d9c761c-7602-45bc-b395-d4a79dc608da.jpg?v=1777228898","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/at-home-with-political-portraits-jennifer-wingate-9781666926545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
