| The third installment of his popular and widely-respected trilogy, The Americans: The Democratic Experience examines the formation of a distinctively American character. Covering the period between the Civil War and the moon landing, Boorstin's Pulitzer Prize-winning book discusses the realities of everyday life for the intrepid souls filling in the frontiers, for the emigrants coming from Ireland, Italy and elsewhere, and for those already living in the growing population centers on the Atlantic coast. Most interestingly, Boorstin convincingly relates those foundational experiences to the unique character of present-day American institutions and practices. |
