Twilights Gleaming: The American Dream and the Ends of Republics
Description
In this brief sequel to his 2003 book "The American Dream: A Short History of an Idea that Shaped a Nation," Jim Cullen looks at the Dream in the age of Barack Obama, and asks if it is uniquely American. He explores what might be termed the Roman Dream, and asks if the American Dream can exist outside the political parameters of the United States.
