SUMMARY:The Selling of Abraham Lincoln with Author Jacqueline Hogan
LOCATION:Peoria Public Library North Branch
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Author Jackie Hogan explores why Abraham Lincoln permeates the national ima
 gination in “Selling Abraham Lincoln” on Sunday, February 12 from 1:00 to 3
 :00 p.m. at Peoria Public Library North Branch. Hogan, Chair of Sociology a
 t Bradley University, explores the topic in her latest book, Lincoln, Inc. 
 Copies will be available for sale and signing after the discussion to benef
 it the Friends of Peoria Public Library.\nFrom Lincoln-themed cocktails and
  waffle parlors to high-tech museums and steamy romance novels, the image o
 f Abraham Lincoln can now be found in the unlikeliest of places. In Lincoln
 , Inc. Jackie Hogan examines the uses and abuses of the sixteenth President
  in our country today. The book considers the place of Honest Abe in Americ
 a’s classrooms, historic sites, blockbuster films, advertisements and heate
 d debates about issues such as abortion, homosexuality and the war on terro
 r. But Lincoln, Inc. is more than a tour through the thriving “Lincoln indu
 stry” today. It analyzes the ways we employ Lincoln in our political, ideal
 ogical, personal and national struggles; the ways we simultaneously defy an
 d exploit him, the ways he is packaged and sold in the marketplace of Ameri
 can ideas. In learning about “Lincoln, Inc.” we learn about ourselves, abou
 t who we think we are as a nation, and who we wish we could be.\n
