Sommario/riassunto

Red and Blue states . . . the ''Religious Right'' and the ''Liberal Media'' . . . NASCAR dads and soccer moms . . . Is America clearly and bitterly divided? Are today's social and political differences truly worrisome, or the unavoidable products of a diverse democracy? In Is There a Culture War? two leading authorities on political culture lead a provocative examination of division and unity within America.
