Description and Table of Contents
Description
Since the Declaration of Independence, equality has been America's primary moral commitment. But equality of what and for whom? In this revised second edition, the British historian J.R. Pole examines the concept of equality in American political, legal and social thought. Applying psychological as well as historical analysis, he addresses the meaning of equality for Americans of different occupational class, ethnicity, religion and gender. While Pole draws on many fields - religion, law, intellectual history, economics - "The Pursuit of Equality in American History" is best described as an account of America's moral history.
