1. Age Of Fracture
This book delves into the late 20th century in America, a period marked by profound ideological and social fragmentation. It explores how the collective certainties that had defined the post-World War II era began to unravel, giving way to a more fragmented, individualistic, and market-driven society. Through a detailed examination of political, social, and intellectual trends, the narrative uncovers how ideas about power, gender, race, and the economy transformed. The author argues that this shift towards a more fractured society has had lasting impacts on American identity, culture, and politics, fundamentally altering the way Americans understand and engage with the world around them.
