EMERSON AND THE DREAM OF AMERICA: Finding Our Way To A New & Exceptional Age

Emerson and the Dream of America connects the awakening of hope that led to the election of Barack Obama with a rebirth of Emerson's great Dream of 'this new yet unapproachable America.' This is the first book to combine Emerson's energizing teaching for individuals with the theme of achieving America's unique promise as a nation. It is a timely message about the ground of our being and the future of our country and offers strength and confidence to readers who dream (as Emerson did) of an America devoted to equality, social justice, and economic opportunity for all its citizens.
