RE: “Making America Safe for Democracy” on the Home Front
What are some of the connections that might be drawn between these snapshots? How does the revivalism of Billy Sunday, for instance, shape expectations of gender performance or inform race relations? How does vigilantism and virulent anti-immigrant sentiment relate to racial violence?
Good observation and an important point to raise. Seems that the spirit of war on the home front brought to the surface intolerance and a raft of related shortcomings. Maybe these were nourished by preexisting conditions and inclinations? Makes me want to delve deeper into the texts and athletic performance style of Billy Sunday.
