Abstract
The coda synthesizes the study’s findings about the Yankee in the US cultural imaginary. He amalgamates literature, national identity, and US politics with his own economy of storytelling and becomes a civilization machine for the settler nation state. The coda illustrates this with Mark Twain’s iconic Yankee Hank Morgan from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1889) and asks about the futures of populism in US politics and culture. As creation of 19th century literary nationalism and imperial fantasy, he is alive and kicking in the 21st century present.
