America after Tocqueville complements Harvey Mitchell's previous
book, Individual Choice and the Structures of History: Alexis de
Tocqueville as Historian Reappraised (1996). This study draws on
Democracy in America to study the condition of democracy in the
United States in our own time. Three aspects of Americanism inform
Harvey Mitchell's book, and cannot be separated from Tocqueville's
consideration of the three races. First, he addresses tensions in
the United States between ideas of equality and a political system
that tries to keep it within bounds. He turns to the relationship
between this system and the dynamics of American capitalism. and he
analyses the criteria for inclusion and exclusion in American life.
Overall, he asks if Americans have surrendered to what Tocqueville
called the materialization of life; if that compromise means their
abandonment of their original spiritual quest; and, if they are on
the way to a radical alienation from politics.
