Allegories of America: Narratives, Metaphysics, Politics

by Frederick M Dolan and Frederick M. Dolan

Book Overview

Allegories of America offers a bold idea of what, in terms of political theory, it means to be American. Beginning with the question What do we want from a theory of politics? Dolan explores the metaphysics of American-ness and stops along the way to reflect on John Winthrop, the Constitution, 1950s behavioralist social science, James Merrill, and William Burroughs.
