Individualism in the United States: A Transformation in American Political Thought

Autor Stephanie M. Walls
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 apr 2015
Of the many ideas that inspired and shaped the American Founding Fathers' thought, individualism and a commitment to individual rights were primary among them. The American emphasis on the individual in politics and society and the protection he receives in the US Constitution established the United States as an ideological trailblazer in this regard. However the individualism that inspired the Founders, has transformed over time to reflect the changing economic and social landscape in the United States. Individualism in the United States provides a comprehensive introduction to the idea of individualism in American political development, and a well-grounded argument about the social and political implications of our current understanding of this alleged ideal.

Recenzii

Assumptions about individualism permeate American culture, but often with little thought. Stephanie Walls, in Individualism in the United States, sets out to rectify that, examining the changing nature of the concept since the founding of the nation and outlining its strengths and weaknesses as an essential part of the American character. She succeeds admirably, providing a useful touchstone for future explorations of American individualism.
