Text of Note

"Drawing on his wide knowledge of American history and literature, as well as on the latest social science and contemporary social issues, Richard Harvey Brown investigates continuity and change in American race relations, politics, religion, conception of selfhood, families, and the arts. He demonstrates how an increasingly global political economy interacts with an increasingly fragmented American culture. By identifying key rhetorics that reflect and guide the material organization of American social life, he shows how postmodernism in America is perceived and felt by individuals. He also focuses on the strengths and limitations of American democracy. What emerges from this wide-ranging and original work is a vivid account of American society as a whole."--Jacket
