An imaginative portrait of a nation, The American Library explores how ideas of citizenship, home, and nationalism acquire complex meanings. The work consists of six thousand books wrapped in Dutch wax-print fabric and embossed with the names of immigrants and migrants who have made a significant impact on American culture.
