About This Item
Viking Adult, 1998. Encuadernación de tapa dura. Bien. Texto en inglés. Tapa dura con sobrecubierta de editorial ilustrada. Como nuevo. We have come to believe that our nation is deeply divided between The Left (pro-welfare, pro-affirmative action, pro-abortion, etc.) and The Right (pro-school prayer, pro-family, anti-all of the above). That?s the premise of the debate raging in Congress and statehouses, in the media and academia. But after spending two years talking with middle class Americans in eight communities around the nation, renowned sociologist Alan Wolfe comes to the surprising conclusion that we agree about a lot more than we think we do; that we are in fact one nation, after all.Among his provocative findings are that middle Americans ?left? and ?right? believe in giving the deserving but not the undeserving poor a second chance are happy to allow immigrants inside our borders whatever their race, but insist that they learn English and work hard accept women in the workplace?including mothers?as a fact of life are remarkably tolerant?except when it comes to homosexualsA breakout book in the tradition of Andrew Hacker?s Two Nations, One Nation After All debunks the myths that pointlessly polarize Americans and illumines a society with many values in common?one incredibly, increasingly pragmatic about God, family, and country.
