The Twilight Of Common Dreams by Todd Gitlin
Why America Is Wracked by Culture Wars
A polemical diagnosis of modern American public life that argues shared civic culture has been eroded by market-driven consumerism, media spectacle, professional managerial elites, and splintered identity politics; the book traces how these forces have fragmented common understandings, weakened democratic institutions and public debate, and left politics more performative and less capable of producing collective action, while urging a recovery of a robust public sphere and common civic commitments.
