Description:
A spiritual history ranging from the first English settlements to the present day, The Real American Dream is a lively, deeply learned meditation on hope. From the Christian story that expressed the earliest Puritan yearnings to New Age spirituality, apocalyptic environmentalism, and the multicultural search for ancestral roots that divert our own, The Real American Dream evokes the tidal rhythm of American history. It shows how Americans have organized their days and ordered their lives -- and ultimately created a culture -- to make sense of the pain, desire, pleasure, and fear that are the stuff of human experience.
