In this provocative analysis of the New England town before the
Revolution, and of its enduring impact on the American character,
Michael Zuckerman makes a major contribution toward a
reinterpretation of the nature of American society and the origins
of the non-liberal tradition in America. Arguing that the true
concern of these towns was not the individual rights or liberties
of the citizen, but rather the homogeneity and tranquility of the
community, Mr. Zuckerman opens a new perspective on the phenomenon
of American “town-meeting democracy.”
