| Summary: | My objective is to analyse the James Fenimore Cooper&rsquo;s novel The Pioneers.

Escolhi esse texto por ser ele revelador das contradi&ccedil;&otilde;es e conflitos da sociedade norte-americana entre 1800 e 1850. Embora o mito norteamericano evidencie que os Estados Unidos foram constru&iacute;dos por homens simples e pequenos propriet&aacute;rios, Cooper revela a perspectiva conservadora que unia parte da elite do pa&iacute;s. |
