Book Synopsis
As symbols of America's version of the good life, cultural products became a primary means for people around the world, especially in Europe, to reimagine both America and themselves in the context of America's growing global sphere of influence.

Trade Review
"The results of a unique collaboration between American and European authors, Buffalo Bill in Bologna is a graceful re-examination of the origins of America's cultural domination at home and abroad. Robert Rydell and Rob Kroes refashion conventional wisdom by showing that mass culture served as an instrument for promoting American values well before World War I. While this topic has been amply covered for the twentieth century, it is virtually untouched for the nineteenth. Thus breaking new ground, Buffalo Bill in Bologna will be appreciated by readers on both sides of the Atlantic." - Mick Gidley, University of Leeds"
