Richard HOFSTADTER Anti-Intellectualism in American Life (NY 1963)
Wednesday, 9 June 2021
It is odd to be turning to a sixty year-old book to explain what is happening now, but Richard Hofstadter’s classic seems as relevant as ever. Though long, it is well-written, absorbing and packed with interest. Its theme is simple, so the general reader can pick it up and put it down without ever losing the thread.
