Inner worldly Individualism looks to colonial history, in
particular, seventeenth-century New England, to understand the
sources of modern nation building. Seligman analyses how cultural
assumptions of collective identity and social authority emerged out
of the religious beliefs of the first generation of settlers in New
England. He goes on to examine how these assumptions crystallized
three generations later into patterns of normative order, forming
the foundation of an American consciousness. Seligman uses
sociological research grounded in early American history as his
laboratory, and does so in a highly original way. Seligman uses Max
Weber's paradigm of sociological inquiry to explore how a
combination of ideational and structural factors helped to develop
modern conceptions of authority and collective identity among New
England communities. Seligman addresses a number of significant
issues, including social change, the mutual interaction and
development of process and structure, and the role of charisma in
the forging of a social order. His book profoundly increases our
understanding of the ideological and social processes prevalent in
early American history as well as their contemporary influence on
civil identity. Inner worldly Individualism uniquely intertwines
sociological study with cultural history. It uses American history
to develop and elucidate problems of broad theoretical
significance. Seligman's argument is bolstered by a close
examination of concrete detail. His book will be of interest to
anthropologists, sociologists, political theorists, and historians
of American culture.
