The Real American Dream: A Meditation on Hope

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Delbanco, Andrew, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Since we discovered that, in Tocqueville's words, "ong>theong> incomplete joys of this world will never satisfy ong>theong> heart," how have we ong>Americanong>s made do? In "ong>Theong> ong>Realong> ong>Americanong> ong>Dreamong>" one of ong>theong> nation's premier literary scholars searches out ong>theong> symbols and stories by which ong>Americanong>s have reached for something beyond worldly desire. A spiritual history ranging from ong>theong> first English settlements to ong>theong> present day, ong>theong> book is also a lively, deeply learned ong>meditationong> on hope. Andrew Delbanco tells of ong>theong> stringent God of Protestant Christianity, who exerted immense force over ong>theong> language, institutions, and customs of ong>theong> culture for nearly 200 years. He describes ong>theong> falling away of this God and ong>theong> rise of ong>theong> idea of a sacred nation-state. And, finally, he speaks of our own moment, when symbols of nationalism are in decline, leaving us with nothing to satisfy ong>theong> longing for transcendence once sustained by God and nation. From ong>theong> Christian story that expressed ong>theong> earliest Puritan yearnings to New Age spirituality, apocalyptic environmentalism, and ong>theong> multicultural search for ancestral roots that divert our own, "ong>Theong> ong>Realong> ong>Americanong> ong>Dreamong>" evokes ong>theong> tidal rhythm of ong>Americanong> history. It shows how ong>Americanong>s have organized ong>theong>ir days and ordered ong>theong>ir lives--and ultimately created a culture--to make sense of ong>theong> pain, desire, pleasure, and fear that are ong>theong> stuff of human experience. In a time of cultural crisis, when ong>theong> old stories seem to be faltering, this book offers a lesson in ong>theong> painstaking remaking of ong>theong> ong>Americanong> ong>dreamong>.
