'Exceptionalism' continues to excite, beguile, and frustrate students of the American past. The essays in this volume explore the ways in which the process of class formation in the United States can be said to be distinctive. Focusing upon the impact of liberal political thought, race and immigration, and the role of the war-time state, they challenge particularist and nation-centred modes of explanation. Comparing American historical development with Italian, South African, and Australian examples, the essays reinvigorate a tired debate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-01-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781349255863\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349255863\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-349-25584-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 325\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44352538149004,"sku":"9781349255863","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349255863.jpg?v=1755085447","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781349255863","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
