"American exceptionalism" is the scholarly term for the common
perception that there is something different about American life,
stemming from the origins of the United States and its subsequent
evolution, and marking it off from the experience of other
developed nations. There is a long, rich, and varied argument about
this perception, its reality, and its component elements. In Is
America Different?, major scholars from the realms of history,
politics, economics, and sociology return to the question in the
light of changes in the last thirty years and debate an answer
which is appropriate to our time. Politics, economics, religion,
culture, education, and public policy receive particular attention
in this debate, while a major introductory essay by Seymour Martin
Lipset and a final integrating chapter by Byron E. Shafer isolate
common themes and recurring disputes. Providing valuable insights
into the dilemma of American exceptionalism, this book will
interest scholars and students of American studies, American
government, American history, politics, and sociology.
