American: Beyond Our Grandest NotionsThorndike Press, 2003 - 280 páginas A New York Times BestsellerFiercely independent, in love with freedom, convinced we can make it, Americans are like no other people on earth. What unites Americans is not so much language or ethnicity, but a set of distinct ideas about ourselves. Chris Matthews presents a portrait of a country that enters the world arena even today armed with an extremely potent weapon: the collective notions we carry of America at its best . . . a nation challenged but a people ready and eager to prevail. Available in Americana 4 and 5. |
