In this book Richard Harvey Brown asks how we can distinguish the uniquely American elements of these changes from more global influences. His answer focuses on the ways in which economic imperatives give shape to the shifting experience of being American.Drawing on a wide knowledge of American history and literature, the latest social science, and contemporary social issues, Brown investigates continuity and change in American race relations, politics, religion, conception of selfhood, families, and the arts. He paints a vivid picture of contemporary America, showing how postmodernism is perceived and felt by individuals and focusing attention on the strengths and limitations of American democracy.DemocracyUnited StatesPolitical cultureUnited StatesCapitalismUnited StatesDemocracyPolitical cultureCapitalism306.2/0973Brown Richard Harvey120124MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777849603321Culture, capitalism, and democracy in the New America3845492UNINA
