    The foundational vision of the U.S. polity as a “political edifice of liberty and equal rights” (Abraham Lincoln) has held immense symbolic power and bred both aspirations and discontent. It has served as the source for various interconnected, yet often also conflicting, narratives and discourses through which the question of human and civil rights in the U.S. has been constantly debated and re-negotiated. This volume investigates the U.S.-American culture of rights as it has evolved and continues to evolve throughout U.S. (legal) history as well as in U.S. literature and in popular culture. It demonstrates that the question of rights has been posed differently by members of the various groups and cultures that have historically constituted the United States, and that the answers to these questions changed significantly over time.

    In its landmark ruling ‘Obergefell v. Hodges’, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the U.S. Constitution grants same-sex couples the right to marry. This decision marked a peak of the gay and lesbian community’s insistence on a full inclusion into the American nation, challenging traditional ideas of American nationalism. Operationalizing the term ‘un-American’ as a novel analytical tool, the book examines the many facets of American people renegotiating the legal and sociocultural equalization of gays and lesbians. The study reveals the extent to which this newly found legal equality translated into a greater equality regarding the full inclusion of gay subjects into contemporary concepts of American nationalism. It takes particular interest in disclosing that such conflicts tend to serve as proxy wars for disputes that are ultimately processes of renegotiating American nationalism. The culture war over marriage equality soon became incidental to larger sociocultural transformations.
