Description
The Dying Citizen: A Crisis of American Identity Victor Davis Hanson warns that the concept of the "citizen" is historically rare and has been a valued ideal in America for over two centuries. However, Hanson argues that American citizenship may soon vanish due to the erosion of the middle class, open borders, identity politics, and a top-heavy state. The author outlines the forces that have led to this crisis and assesses the impact of recent events on the meaning of American citizenship. Hanson contends that the evisceration of the middle class has made many Americans dependent on the federal government, open borders have undermined allegiance to a particular place, and identity politics have eradicated our collective sense of self. The author's new epilogue provides a timely assessment of how the events of 2021 have further diminished the meaning of American citizenship. This book is a clarion call to rebuild our collective national identity and a thought-provoking exploration of the forces that are shaping America's future.
