Cynicism and the Evolution of the American Dream by Wilber W Caldwell
Today we face America's most terrifying enemy ever: an indigenous insurgent army made up of millions of our own citizens. We snipe at each other from behind impregnable barricades of cynicism, mocking efforts to move ahead and scoffing at once-cherished national ideals.
“Caldwell adds to our understanding of American cynicism with this well-written and well-argued bookDriven by the wise perception that cynicism always has its reasons, he situates his discussion firmly amid ‘the American Dream,’ a civic religion that provides the perfect setting for this provocative consideration of cynicism.”—Bill Chaloupka, chair and professor, political science, Colorado State University, and author of Everybody Knows: Cynicism in America
Wilber W. Caldwell is the author of The Courthouse and the Depot: The Architecture of Hope in an Age of Despair (Mercer University Press; 2002) and Searching for the Dixie Barbecue (Pineapple Press; 2005). He lives in Atlanta.
