{"product_id":"constant-conflict-robert-shogan-9780813342214","title":"Constant Conflict: Politics, Culture, and the Struggle for America's Future","description":"America's culture war - which pits traditionalists, unrelenting defenders of the social orthodoxy, against modernists, agitators for social change - has simmered and seethed since the birth of the nation. But in the turbulent decade of the 1960s, the culture war erupted in the political arena, where it thunders on today. \u003ci\u003eConstant Conflict\u003c\/i\u003e examines how the evolution of cultural issues as political tools has rocked the balance of political power in America, and continues to do so. Through an expansive coverage of events - from Vietnam, Nixon, discrimination, abortion, economic imbalance, and morality in political behavior - Washington journalist Robert Shogan provides an objective and informed look at how Americans feel about themselves and their country in the first decade of the new millennium. Updates to the paperback show how the culture war has reached new heights in the Bush presidency, with the emphasis on Godliness and the divisiveness against the Axis of Evil. Shogan also discusses how the cultural conflicts will impact the 2004 campaign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Shogan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081334221X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813342214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.72h x 6.06w x 0.73d","brand":"Robert Shogan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059824718079,"sku":"9780813342214","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d59468fc-944c-4eb8-8aa7-da8a3ff0a0dd.jpg?v=1685060545","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constant-conflict-robert-shogan-9780813342214","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
