Excerpt from Patriotism at Boggsville
Scene: A sitting room. Boys and girls are discovered in conversation.
George. I'll tell you right now this village ought to be ashamed of itself. It hasn't got a spark of patriotism in it.
Henry. That's right. It hasn't got patriotism enough to shoot off a toy pistol on the Fourth Of July.
George. It hasn't one-quarter as much patriotism as Greenville.
Percy. And Greenville's a great deal smaller place than this.
Mary. We haven't even a Red Cross society here. Just think of it!
Alice. It's just the same with everything else in this town. It's dead, that's what's the matter.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is both a new adaptation and a resurfacing of the ages-old question: what does it mean to be a patriot? The author delves into the theme of patriotism, nationalism, and how it is born out in personal stories, public displays, political choices, and more. From historical figures to modern-day activists, their united and solitary journeys offer interesting perspectives on the subject, especially in how place and time shape patriotic expression. This book also includes research and insights on the stereotypes of patriotism, nationalism, and jingoism, and how these can be misleading, even harmful, when assessing a person or group. The author's exploration of the tension between patriotism, unity, and acceptance of diversity is a valuable tool for understanding these complex concepts more deeply. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332092406_0
