American as A Civilization by Max Lerner is a towering classic work. Originally published in 1957, this is the 30th Anniversary Edition with a new postscript chapter. The original questions asked by the author in the original work are still relevant today. Questions such as; what are the traditions and ethnic and class groupings, what are the connecting principles that hold their civilization together, what convictions do they have, what are the myths that run through their culture, and what incentives propel them. The book looks to answer a fundamental question; What makes America not a collection of individuals and collective power but a civilization.
