Brady Detwiler Art of Nonfiction Professor Hoffman 10/15/14 On “Against Joie de Vivre” Phillip Lopate’s “Against Joie de Vivre” is‚ in a sense‚ an absurd project.

De Crevecoeur’s image of the poor is like a phoenix rising from the ashes in the New World. The immigrants were once poor‚ nameless‚ and insignificant in Europe‚ but they are now regarded as “citizens” of America. They now have a way to provide for themselves. This image of the poor‚ powerless European immigrant
