Title: Faded mosaic : the emergence of post-cultural America.
Description: ChicagoIvan R. Dee, 2000. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 206 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. - Contrary to today's widespread emphasis on cultural diversity, the United States has become not a multicultural society but the world's first post-cultural society. Cultures, Christopher Clausen argues, have lost power over both public and private behavior. This largely unrecognized transformation has enormous importance for every area of American life, from marriage to politics. One of its most prevalent social expressions is an aimless, conformist individualism-because there is no longer any source of authority or value outside the self. The multiculturalism of leftist politics and the family values of the right are both futile expressions of nostalgia for a world (differently interpreted, of course) that is gone forever.
