Inventing the "American Way": The Politics of Consensus from the New Deal to the Civil Rights Movement
Wall, Wendy (Assistant Professor of History, Assistant Professor of History, Colgate University)
Wendy Wall looks at how and why postwar Americans of diverse backgrounds and divergent political views agreed upon a need for and put forward a unifying set of national values. She particularly focuses on three groups: businessmen, government officials and cultural elites, and a loose collation of activists and intellectuals.
