Is America unique? One of our major political analysts explores the deeply held but often unarticulated beliefs that shape the American creed. "(A) magisterial attempt to distill a lifetime of learning about America into a persuasive brief . . . (by) the dean of American political sociologists".--Carlin Romano, "Boston Globe".
Review:
"If Mr. Lipset strength in this book is his ability to sift vast evidence and pluck out apt conclusions, his weakness is his seeming desire to get some matters off his chest (or off the hard drive of his computer) even if they don't fit his thesis."
James P. Pinkerton, New York Review of Books, 02/11/1996
Review:"The deep seriousness of Lipset's argument is that we were wrong ever to think the Uniter States might ever become more like old Europe. From the evidence of Margaret Thatcher's economic reforms and the slow dismantling of the French and German welfare state, from our divorce figures and our declining trade unions and soaring litigation rates--let alone our television habits--he concluded that we Europeans are becoming more and more like you. I suspect he is only two-thirds right; we are really all becoming more like Canada."
Martin Walker, Washington Post Book World

"American values are quite complex," writes Seymour Martin Lipset, "particularly because of paradoxes within our culture that permit pernicious and beneficial social phenomena to arise simultaneously from the same basic beliefs."Born out of revolution, the United States has always considered itself an exceptional country of citizens unified by an allegiance to a common set of ideals, individualism, anti-statism, populism, and egalitarianism. This ideology, Professor Lipset observes, defines the limits of political debate in the United States and shapes our society.American Exceptionalism explains why socialism has never taken hold in the United States, why Americans are resistant to absolute quotas as a way to integrate blacks and other minorities, and why American religion and foreign policy have a moralistic, crusading streak.
