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 517 2 $aLeypoldt/Berg (eds.), Authority and Trust$eInterdisciplinary Approaches and Perspectives 606 $aTrust 606 $aAuthority 606 $aPopulism 606 $aUrbanity 606 $aUS Religion 606 $aUS Literature 606 $aAmerica 606 $aPolitics 606 $aLiterature 606 $aAmerican History 606 $aPolicy 606 $aAmerican Studies 606 $aHistory 606 $aCultural Studies 615 4$aTrust 615 4$aAuthority 615 4$aPopulism 615 4$aUrbanity 615 4$aUS Religion 615 4$aUS Literature 615 4$aAmerica 615 4$aPolitics 615 4$aLiterature 615 4$aAmerican History 615 4$aPolicy 615 4$aAmerican Studies 615 4$aHistory 615 4$aCultural Studies 676 $a303.3/6 702 $aLeypoldt$b Günter$p
