This book takes a case study approach to explore the crisis of
legitimacy in American political culture. The question of
legitimacy resides at the heart of any political system. However,
understanding why an individual should recognize another's power
over them is not solely limited to the analytically political but
is deeply embedded in the larger cultural context of any society.
Through a series of ethnographic case studies focused on the United
States - from those involving the rhetoric of presidential prophecy
and abuse of power to the dispute over a local sewerage authority's
reach and a case of classroom blasphemy - the book aims to
demonstrate both a ground-up approach to the problem of legitimacy
and to capture some of the common cultural features that bond the
examples together. The book will, therefore, be of interest to
scholars of anthropology, sociology, political science, and
socio-legal studies.
