American Mythos: Why Our Best Efforts to Be a Better Nation Fall Short
Robert Wuthnow
Details how Americans have traditionally relied on narratives to address what it means to be strong, morally responsible individuals and to explain why some people are more successful than others - in short, to help us make sense of our lives. This title argues that these narratives have done little to help Americans confront new challenges.
