For this paper, you will make an argument about the ways that American war propaganda justified United States intervention in World War II. Select at least two war bond advertisements from Duke University’s Ad*Access database. Consider these ads with respect to Wendy Wall’s arguments about the “politics of
consensus.” Pay particular attention to Wall’s assertion that “America’s mid-century consensus’ can best be understood not as a natural’ development but as a political project” (p. 5). How do the ads that you chose try to create consensus? What is the basis of that consensus? Do you see any tensions or contradictions in the consensus? You may include in your paper other course readings and lecture material, but you must use the Wall book. (Inventing the American Way)
