Book excerpt: 'This is an interesting and absorbing study, The author seeks to delineate 'democracy' as an operative concept in American life over time; its meanings have shifted, and these shifts both symbolize changes in our politics and help to constitute these changes. Hanson's critical use of American history is persuasive and distinctive, and he will find a large audience.' --William E. Connolly, University of Massachusetts.
