Clement Alexander Price, a professor of American and Afro-American history, explores the multifaceted nature of American culture, focusing on the contentious realm of arts policy. He argues that the ongoing debate about American culture's history and character is a significant societal discussion. Price traces the concept of cultural pluralism back to the 19th and early 20th centuries, advocating for a dynamic definition of national culture that embraces diversity and reevaluates artistic worth.
