Shaviro Daniel - Bonfires Of The American Dream In American Rhetoric Literature And Film - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: How could American social solidarity have so collapsed that we cannot even cooperate in fighting a pandemic? One problem lies in how our values mutate and intersect in an era of runaway high - end inequality and evaporating upward mobility. Under such conditions the American Dream's seeming to suggest falsely that those who succeed economically are winners while the rest of us are losers puts it in dire conflict with our traditions of democracy and egalitarianism. In Bonfires of the American Dream through close cultural studies of classic novels and films Atlas Shrugged The Great Gatsby It's a Wonderful Life and The Wolf of Wall Street Daniel Shaviro helps to provide a better understanding of what went wrong culturally in America.
