Our Frontier Is the World

Meer over het boek

The book explores the Boy Scouts of America's role in promoting American global expansion throughout the twentieth century. It examines how the organization's core values and ideals have influenced national identity since its inception in 1910. Honeck argues that the BSA not only reflected but also facilitated the United States' outreach and influence across the globe, intertwining notions of patriotism and adventure with internationalism. Through this lens, the book offers a critical perspective on the intersection of youth culture and imperialism.
