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. 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States 606 $aCapitalism$zUnited States 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aCapitalism 676 $a306.2/0973 700 $aBrown$b Richard Harvey$0120124 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777849603321 996 $aCulture, capitalism, and democracy in the New America$93845492 997 $aUNINA
