'e Pluribus Unum' or 'e Pluribus Plura'?: Unity and Diversity in American Culture Hardcover - 2011

by Hans-Jurgen Grabbe (Editor); David Mauk (Editor); Ole Moen (Editor)


From the publisher

The essays collected in this volume are derived from the 2008 EAAS biennial conference in Oslo. They explore the many-layered pluralism of American life by addressing questions like the following: How does the United States negotiate the inner tensions that, because of its constitutive diversity, might threaten its unity?

Can the politically unifying, centripetal power of the State, hidden under the neutral 'unum, ' accommodate the centrifugal forces that might generate a societal and cultural 'plura' out of the hallowed political and territorial 'pluribus'?
