Today the United States is a
country divided along lines of gender, economic inequality, educational
level, and political affiliation. Democrats typically select a different
range of matters of serious public concern compared to Republicans.
Many Americans describe difficulty in coming to terms with the demands
placed on them in their work, communities, and personal lives and
achieving satisfaction. The institutional crises that pervade our
politics, economy, educational systems, and communities have inspired a
contemporary crisis: a widespread inability for many to live as
integrated, effective selves in the twenty-first century United States.
Drawing on a wide range of historical and contemporary research, The Lonely Quest explores the dilemma of constructing the self in the U.S. today.
