Recenzii
Modern Jeremiahs explores America's favorite narrative - the dire warning of terrible decline. We've been going to hell in a hand basket since the Puritans arrived. But, as Jendrysik artfully demonstrates, our tales of woe have profoundly changed - and with far reaching consequences. Elegant, engaging, infuriating, funny, insightful and highly recommended.
A useful examination of the prominent themes of neoconservative social and political thought of the past several decades and an effective criticism of the dangers of this form of political thought. Recommended.
Modern Jeremiahs draws attention to a prominent yet puzzling fixture of contemporary political argument: the narrative of decline at a time of significant economic and military strength. While carefully rooted in the history of American political thought, this highly engaging study focuses on the appeal of such rhetoric in the last two decades among commentators on both right and left. Jendrysik invites us to look more carefully at the multiple uses of the jeremiad and ultimately at its serious limitations in prompting social change.
