Описание: In an accessible and droll style, best-selling author Joel Best shines a light on how we navigate these anxious, insecure social times. While most of us still strive for the American Dream--to graduate from college, own a home, work toward early retirement--recent generations have been told that the next generation will not be able to achieve these goals, that things are getting--or are on the verge of getting--worse. In American Nightmares, Best addresses the apprehension that we face every day as we are bombarded with threats that the social institutions we count on are imperiled. Our schools are failing to teach our kids. Health care may soon be harder to obtain. We cant bank on our retirement plans. And our homes--still the largest chunk of most peoples net worth--may lose much of their value. Our very way of life is being threatened Or is it?
With a steady voice and keen focus, Best examines how a culture develops fears and fantasies and how these visions are created and recreated in every generation. By dismantling current ideas about the future, collective memory, and sociologys marginalization in the public square, Best sheds light on how social problems--and our anxiety about them--are socially constructed.
