Lechner, Frank J.
The American exception.
Volume 1[electronic resource] /by Frank J. Lechner. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :2017. - xv, 253 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.
1. Introduction -- 2."A Shining City"? Perspectives on the American Exception -- 3. "A Sea of Faith": The American Religious Exception -- 4."Equal Justice under Law": The American Legal Exception -- 5. "Almost an Island unto Itself": The American Sports Exception.
This book examines what makes the United States an exceptional society, what impact it has had abroad, and why these issues have mattered to Americans. With historical and comparative evidence, Frank J. Lechner describes the distinctive path of American institutions and tracks changes in the country's national identity in order to assess claims about America's 'exceptional' qualities. The book analyzes several focal points of exceptionalist thinking about America, including the importance of US Constitution and the American sense of mission, and explores several aspects of America's distinctive global impact; for example, in economics and film. In addition to discussing the distinctive global impact of the US, this first volume delves into religion, law, and sports.
