us and them in America's raucous political culture : essays
Morone's lively essays complicate the monolithic view that Americans fear government, celebrate markets and act as individualists. Yes, they do resist government's meddling in their lives, but given their puritanical bent, they readily exhort the government to ensure that their neighbors don't drink, smoke, take drugs or have sex with the wrong kind of person. They are also communitarians who go the extra mile for one another. Yet they are always nervous about the many outsiders banging on their democratic door, Blacks, women, immigrants. Rather than a static culture, then, Morone gives the reader a dynamic one that is constantly being remade by those who pass through that door. Morone's readers will come away with a fresh look at America's vibrant and often contentious political culture.
