Sobre este artículo
New York: Viking Penguin, 2012. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Good. 12mo - over 6. Viking Penguin, 2012. First Edition. Hardcover Ex-Library Book and Dust Jacket in Good Condition. Lib marks on endpaper and top edge of page block, otherwise in Near Fine Condition. Clean, unmarked, tight and solid book. A central force in American history since the end of World War II, liberalism finds itself at the height of its influence in culture and society but it has become marginalized and not dealt with in public discourse. The history of this proud tradition-its achievements and short-sighted missteps-is the subject of this work. These authors, historians and journalists, restore the liberal tradition to its rightful place in America's history by recounting the story of the individuals who fought for these causes that transformed America--politicians, preachers, intellectuals, artists and activists who have battled for the heart and soul of the nation. xi + 561 pp with Notes and Index. 6.5 x 9.5 inches. 2012, Viking Penguin, New York.
Sinopsis
A major history of American liberalism and the key personalities behind the movement Why is it that nearly every liberal initiative since the end of the New Deal—whether busing, urban development, affirmative action, welfare, gun control, or Roe v. Wade —has fallen victim to its grand aspirations, often exacerbating the very problem it seeks to solve? In this groundbreaking work, the first full treatment of modern liberalism in the United States, bestselling journalist and historian Eric Alterman together with Kevin Mattson present a comprehensive history of this proud, yet frequently maligned tradition. In The Cause, we meet the politicians, preachers, intellectuals, artists, and activists—from Eleanor Roosevelt to Barack Obama, Adlai Stevenson to Hubert Humphrey, and Billie Holiday to Bruce Springsteen—who have battled for the heart and soul of the nation.
