Abstract

The average American displays the national banner every Fourth of July, shows respect by placing his or her hand over their hearts when it passes by in a parade, and (those of us of a certain age, anyway) remembers facing the starry standard in grade school while reciting the pledge of allegiance. Ask these same average Americans how much they actually know about Old Glory, however, and it may become apparent that the answer is “not much.” Therein lies the need for the present volume under examination.

书评:《美国国旗:美国历史、文化和法律中的星条旗百科全书》
普通美国人每年7月4日都会展示国旗,当国旗在游行队伍中经过时,他们会把手放在心上以示尊重,(无论如何,我们这些特定年龄的人)记得在背诵效忠誓言时,在小学时面对着星光灿烂的标准。然而,如果问这些同样普通的美国人,他们对《旧荣耀》的实际了解有多少,答案可能会变得很明显,“不多”。这就是本卷的必要性。
