This volume takes an interdisciplinary and historical look at the transformations of authority and trust in the United States. The contributors examine government institutions, political parties, urban neighborhoods, scientific experts, international leadership, religious communities, and literary production. Exploring the nexus between authority and trust is crucial to understand the loss of legitimacy experienced by political, social, and cultural institutions not only in the United States but in Western democracies at large.American Culture StudiesLeypoldt/Berg (eds.), Authority and TrustInterdisciplinary Approaches and PerspectivesTrustAuthorityPopulismUrbanityUS ReligionUS LiteratureAmericaPoliticsLiteratureAmerican HistoryPolicyAmerican StudiesHistoryCultural StudiesTrustAuthorityPopulismUrbanityUS ReligionUS LiteratureAmericaPoliticsLiteratureAmerican HistoryPolicyAmerican StudiesHistoryCultural Studies303.3/6Leypoldt Günter<p>Günter Leypoldt, Universität Heidelberg, Deutschland</p>edtBerg Manfred<p>Manfred Berg, Universität Heidelberg, Deutschland</p>edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910642296103321Authority and Trust in US Culture and Society3008778UNINA
