Why American Citizenship Is on the Wane
The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America, by Victor Davis Hanson, New York: Basic Books, 2021, 432 pages, hardcover.
The nation has been thrown into reverse, as Victor Davis Hanson discerns, going from celebrating independence, self-reliance, and liberty to the growing acquiescence of swelling government dependence. The author shows in this work, convincingly and thoughtfully, how the very nature of responsible American citizenship has been eroded.
A senior fellow in military history at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, Hanson is professor emeritus of classics at California State University, Fresno. A columnist on world affairs, he is also the author of more than two dozen books (including The Case for Trump) ranging in topics from ancient Greece to modern America.
