Aiming to provide a balanced introduction to the defining features
of contemporary American society, this text 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. It 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 organizations
have lost members, and that the traditional family is in decline.
Included is a thorough investigation of the effects of the
terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001 and their aftermath. The
text also 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.
