The United States is a nation whose identity is defined by the idea
of democracy. Yet democracy in the U.S. is often taken for granted,
narrowly understood, and rarely critically examined. In Democracy
as a Way of Life in America, Schneirov and Fernandez show that,
much more than a static legacy from the past, democracy is a living
process that informs all aspects of American life. The authors
trace the story of American democracy from the revolution to the
present, showing how democracy has changed over time, and the
challenges it has faced. They examine themes including
individualism, foreign policy, the economy, and the environment,
and reveal how democracy has been deeply involved in these
throughout the country's history. Democracy as a Way of Life in
America demonstrates that democracy is not simply a set of
institutions or practices such as the right to vote or competing
political parties, but a complex, multi-dimensional phenomenon,
whose animating spirit can be found in every part of American
culture and society. This vital and engaging narrative should be
read by students of history, political science, and anyone who
wants to understand the nature of American democracy.
