Ch. 1. Free labor and intimate capital : the postwar autobiographies of Douglass, Brown, and Washington -- ch. 2. The nature theater of Americana : Horatio Alger's earnest commodities -- ch. 3. Racial credit, white money, and the novel of assimilative lament -- ch. 4. The reality effect in the film machine : the authentic performances of the silent comedies. The story of the American self-made man carries a perennial interest in American literature and cultural studies.
