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. 410 0$aAmerican Culture Studies 606 $aTrust; Authority; Populism; Urbanity; US Religion; US Literature; America; Politics; Literature; American History; Policy; American Studies; History; Cultural Studies; 610 $aAmerica. 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aAuthority. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aHistory. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aPolicy. 610 $aPolitics. 610 $aPopulism. 610 $aUS Literature. 610 $aUS Religion. 610 $aUrbanity. 615 4$aTrust; Authority; Populism; Urbanity; US Religion; US Literature; America; Politics; Literature; American History; Policy; American Studies; History; Cultural Studies; 676 $a303.3/6 702 $aLeypoldt$b Gu?nter$pHeidelberg Center for American Studies, Germany$4edt 702 $aBerg$b Manfred$pHeidelberg Center for American Studies, Germany$4edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910642296103321 996 $aAuthority and Trust in US Culture and Society$93008778 997 $aUNINA
