The way people think and act politically is not set in stone.
People can and do change the fundamental cultural contours of their
political situation. Their political culture does not only restrict
imagination and action - it is also a resource for political
creativity and invention. In Reinventing Political Culture, this
resource is uncovered and explored. Analyzed as a tension between
the power of culture and the culture of power, the concept of
political culture is reinvented and applied to understanding the
practice of people transforming their own political culture in very
different circumstances. Three instances of such reinvention are
closely examined: one historic, during the twilight of the Soviet
empire; one actively in process and actively opposed, 'the Obama
revolution'; and one an apparent distant dream, the power of
culture and the culture of power that would avoid 'the clash of
civilizations' in the Middle East. In accessible and engaging
prose, Goldfarb clearly and forcefully presents students and
scholars of sociology, comparative politics, and cultural studies
with an original position on political culture, showing how the
political cultures of our times pose not only grave dangers, but
also opportunities for creative alternatives.
