This comprehensive documentary report on the cultural and political
state of the union explores the flashpoints of the debate over
American identity and values. Culture Wars in America: A
Documentary and Reference Guide places the most hotly debated
issues in American society in historical context. With this book in
hand, the reader can more effectively evaluate the potential social
and political significance of these important conflicts. Americans
have never found it easy to reconcile their differences, even while
sometimes achieving a remarkable unity of purpose. Although we
pride ourselves on pluralism, we struggle to find common ground on
our most essential principles. Since the 1980s, events covered in
this volume have increased the questioning of traditional religious
values, continuing immigration and globalization, the
liberalization of social mores, and differing understandings of the
nation's role in a post-Cold War world. Increased partisan conflict
over these issues has dominated American domestic politics and
policymaking. The primary source documents collected and analyzed
here reflect all of these trends, while fairly representing the
contending positions that shape our contemporary political reality.
