American society today provides a balanced introduction to the
defining features of contemporary American society. Includes the
ways in which the US can be considered 'exceptional' - the
character of the 'American dream', the role of ethnicity and race,
and the differences between the regions. Considers in depth a
number of contemporary debates including the claim that the US
economy has lost its capacity to generate wealth and stimulate
mobility, that there has been a process of civic disengagement as
voluntary organisations have lost members, and that the traditional
family is in decline. Includes a thorough investigation of the
effects of the terrorist attacks of September 11 and their
aftermath. Looks at the arguments put forward by those who assert
that a common American identity has given way to a multitude of
conflicting identities structured around factors such as race,
ethnicity, gender and sexuality. -- .
