Hanging Together: Unity and Diversity in American Culture

Front Cover
Yale University Press, 2001 M01 1 - 336 pages
How has America, with its many ethnic, class, and ideological divisions, allowed divergent groups to hang together as Americans? In this book, a distinguished historian explores the ways in which Americans have conceived of a national identity and demonstrates that an appreciation of America's kaleidoscopic diversity can be reconciled with an affirmation of its common national culture.
