The dying citizen : how progressive elites, tribalism, and globalization are destroying the idea of America
Hanson, Victor Davis2022
Book
Human history is full of the stories of peasants, subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the citizen is historically rare and was among America s most valued ideals for over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship may soon vanish. In The Dying Citizen, Hanson outlines the forces that led to this crisis. The evisceration of the middle class has made many Americans dependent on the federal government. Open borders have undermined allegiance to a particular place. Identity politics have eradicated our collective sense of self. And a top-heavy state has endangered personal liberty. With a new afterword that assesses how the events of 2021 have further diminished the meaning of American citizenship, The Dying Citizen is a clarion call to rebuild our collective national identity.
