The Liberty of Strangers: Making the American Nation
King, Desmond (Andrew W. Mellon Professor of American Government and Professorial Fellow, Andrew W. Mellon Professor of American Government and Professorial Fellow, Nuffield College, University of Oxford)
Presents a different interpretation of American nationalism and the future prospects for diverse democracies. Tracing how Americans have confronted and clung to group identities, this book aims to debunk one of the guiding assumptions of American nationhood - that group distinction would dissolve over time, creating a 'postethnic' nation.
