Description

This Routledge research volume examines how gambling and poker have reshaped the American Dream narrative in contemporary society. The book traces gambling's historical evolution in America whilst analysing how poker critiques and reinterprets traditional values of honesty and hard work by emphasizing luck and risk management instead. Through exploration of gambling rhetoric, Wild West film depictions, and poker's recent television popularity surge, the author Duncan investigates the intersection of risk society and cultural mythology. Ideal for scholars, students, and readers interested in understanding how games of chance reflect and influence American cultural values and social attitudes.
