| Zusammenfassung: | "From historian and author of the popular daily newsletter LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN, a vital narrative that explains how America, once a beacon of democracy, now teeters on the brink of autocracy--and how we can turn back. In the midst of the impeachment crisis of 2019, Heather Cox Richardson launched a daily Facebook essay providing the historical background of the daily torrent of news. The essays soon turned into a newsletter and, spread by word of mouth, its readership ballooned to more than 2 million dedicated readers who rely on its plainspoken and informed take on the present and past in America. In Democracy Awakening, Richardson crafts a compelling and original narrative, explaining how, over the decades, a small group of wealthy people have made war on American ideals. By weaponizing language and promoting false history they have led us into authoritarianism--creating a disaffected population and then promising to recreate an imagined past where those people could feel important again. She argues that taking our country back starts by remembering the elements of the nation's true history that marginalized Americans have always upheld. Their dedication to the principles on which this nation was founded has enabled us to renew and expand our commitment to democracy in the past. Richardson sees this history as a roadmap for the nation's future. Richardson's unique talent is to wrangle our giant, meandering, confusing news feed into a coherent story that singles out what we should pay attention to, what the historical roots and precedents are, and what possible paths lie ahead. Writing in her trademark calm prose, she manages to be both realistic and optimistic about the future of democracy. Richardson's easy command of history allows her to pivot effortlessly from the Founders to the abolitionists to Reconstruction to Goldwater to Mitch McConnell, highlighting the political legacies of the New Deal, the lingering fears of socialism, the death of the liberal consensus and birth of "movement conservatism." There are many books that tell us what has happened over the last five years. Democracy Awakening explains how we got to this perilous point, what our history really tells us about ourselves, and what the future of democracy can be"-- |

In the midst of the impeachment crisis of 2019, Heather Cox Richardson launched a daily Facebook essay providing the historical background of the daily torrent of news. The essays soon turned into a newsletter and, spread by word of mouth, its readership ballooned to more than 2 million dedicated readers who rely on its plainspoken and informed take on the present and past in America. In Democracy Awakening, Richardson crafts a compelling and original narrative, explaining how, over the decades, a small group of wealthy people have made war on American ideals. By weaponizing language and promoting false history they have led us into authoritarianism--creating a disaffected population and then promising to recreate an imagined past where those people could feel important again. She argues that taking our country back starts by remembering the elements of the nation's true history that marginalized Americans have always upheld. Their dedication to the principles on which this nation was founded has enabled us to renew and expand our commitment to democracy in the past. Richardson sees this history as a roadmap for the nation's future. Richardson's unique talent is to wrangle our giant, meandering, confusing news feed into a coherent story that singles out what we should pay attention to, what the historical roots and precedents are, and what possible paths lie ahead. Writing in her trademark calm prose, she manages to be both realistic and optimistic about the future of democracy. Richardson's easy command of history allows her to pivot effortlessly from the Founders to the abolitionists to Reconstruction to Goldwater to Mitch McConnell, highlighting the political legacies of the New Deal, the lingering fears of socialism, the death of the liberal consensus and birth of "movement conservatism." There are many books that tell us what has happened over the last five years. Democracy Awakening explains how we got to this perilous point, what our history really tells us about ourselves, and what the future of democracy can be"-- Trump, Donald 1946- (DE-588)118834312 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1776-2023 gnd rswk-swf Gefährdung (DE-588)4156209-4 gnd rswk-swf Politischer Wandel (DE-588)4175047-0 gnd rswk-swf Autoritarismus (DE-588)4232076-8 gnd rswk-swf Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Democracy / United States / History Elite (Social sciences) / United States Rich people / Political activity United States / History / Errors, inventions, etc Common fallacies / United States Conspiracies / United States Authoritarianism / United States / History Élite (Sciences sociales) / États-Unis Riches / Activité politique Erreurs populaires / États-Unis Autoritarisme / États-Unis / Histoire HISTORY / United States POLITICAL SCIENCE / Civics & Citizenship POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Democracy Authoritarianism Common fallacies Conspiracies Democracy Elite (Social sciences) United States Rich United States / History Political crimes and offenses Authority History Informational works Documents d'information USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 s Gefährdung (DE-588)4156209-4 s Politischer Wandel (DE-588)4175047-0 s Geschichte 1776-2023 z DE-188 Trump, Donald 1946- (DE-588)118834312 p Autoritarismus (DE-588)4232076-8 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-0-593-65297-8 |
