Requests:  0 Summary:  "In Last Best Hope, George 2020 traces the shocks back to their sources. He explores the four narratives that now dominate American life: Free America, which imagines a notion of separate individuals and serves the interests of corporations and wealthy; Smart America, the world view of Silicon Valley and the professional elite; Real American, the white Christian nationalism of the heartland; and Just America, which sees citizens as members of identity groups that inflict or suffer oppression. In a lively and biting prose, Packer shows that none of these narratives can sustain a democracy. To point a more hopeful way forward, he looks for a common American identity and finds it in the passion for equality and: we must look for a common American identity and find it in the passion for equality--the "hidden code"--that Americans of diverse persuasions have held for centuries."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.933 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.933 Packer Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.933 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.933 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 973.933 Pa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
