Bonjour, je dois expliquer (définir) ceci : myth of the frontier en 150 mots. Quelqu’un pour m’aider svp?

Réponse :

The Myth of the Frontier is the oldest American national myth. Like all nation‐state mythologies, its function is to provide a historical account and an ideological justification of national development, and a repertoire of exemplary fables—based on historical events—which offer plausible precedents for dealing with contemporary crises. The myth recognizes that the United States developed as a settler state, which grew geographically and increased in political and economic power by advancing European settlements into the territory of Native Americans and the “wilderness.” It builds upon that historical basis a set of historical fables that explain and justify the development of American nationality as the product of this perennial advance into the wilderness, or the “virgin land.
