  An American Girl Anthology: Finding Ourselves in the Pleasant Company Universe turns American Girl dolls―and the ever-growing ecosystem surrounding them―inside out. Editors Justine Orlovsky-Schnitzler and KC Hysmith, along with an expansive list of contributors, explore Pleasant Company (American Girl's parent corporation) and the social and cultural impact the dolls and broader American Girl universe continue to have for generations of American consumers through thoughtful and fun essays.This collection serves as an ode to the democratizing power of the internet and the intoxicating power of nostalgia, while also looking toward the future as the eldest American Girl fans become parents themselves. It is also a critical account of the ways in which American Girl has shaped senses of self-worth and hopes for the future, securing a base of lifelong consumers, and also serves as a love letter to the kids we collectively used to be. They will find essays focusing on topics as diverse as food and historical recipes in American Girl publications, the advent of "tag yourself" memes, the struggle to find authentic and long-lasting Asian American representation within the pages of the American Girl catalog, and the enduring power of The Care and Keeping of You as a resource for finding joy in our bodies.

  The American Experiment - A...

  American democracy did not emerge overnight but was built on centuries of ideas and experiences that shaped political thought and practice. Early influences came from the ancient Greeks, whose experiments with direct democracy in city-states demonstrated that citizens could participate in their government. The ancient model, however, was limited in scope and exclusive in nature, leaving out women, slaves, and non-citizens. These limitations sparked later thinkers to envision a more inclusive system in which all individuals might have a voice. 
  The influence of the Roman Republic was also significant. The Romans developed a system of representative government, incorporating checks and balances that would later be crucial in American political structure. Their ideas of civic duty, legal rights, and the importance of a written code of laws resonated with future leaders who saw the need for a balanced government where power was neither overly concentrated nor arbitrary. The Roman emphasis on civic responsibility established an early link between law and governance that would later inform the formation of the United States. 
  The enlightenment period ignited a profound transformation in political thinking. Philosophers such as John Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau wrote about natural rights, the separation of powers, and the social contract. Locke’s advocacy of life, liberty, and property laid the groundwork for the concept that governments exist to serve the people and that their authority is derived from the consent of the governed. Montesquieu’s writings on the separation of governmental power into branches to prevent tyranny became a key element in the design of the American political system. These ideas gained traction among colonial leaders, who saw in them the means to challenge the existing forms of monarchical and aristocratic rule.
