| Abstract
|
:
|
"In this biography, Davis S. Brown explores Hofstadter's life in the context of American liberalism's dramatic rise and sudden fall. A resourceful advocate of academic freedom, racial justice, and political pluralism, Hofstadter charted the changing nature of American society from a provincial Protestant foundation to one based on the values of an urban and multiethnic nation. According to Brown, Hofstadter presciently saw in rural America's hostility to this cosmopolitanism signs of an anti-intellectualism that he believed were dangerously endemic in a mass democracy."--Jacket.
