He states that liberals are focused so exclusively on the severity of their problems that they give Americans little pride in past victories and, therefore, little confidence that they can achieve new ones. He discusses the 13 books and articles in order to demonstrate that liberals might be more successful if they spent more time emphasizing what good has been done in relation to the environment, education, and social welfare and less time complaining about what remains to be done. He argues that the remaining problems will never be addressed, much less solved, if past successes are not acknowledged and built on. He contends that a revisionist interpretation, drawing on both liberal and conservative elements, can create a foundation for a new progressive activism. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
