What is an American? Bruce P. Frohnen and Ted V. McAllister argue that we are, in fact, a distinct people with our own common character that transcends race, gender, ethnicity, and class. They find in our current political conflicts a crisis of identity that stems from changes, not just in our political, economic, and technological environment, but in our ability to evaluate—and to value—the personalities that shaped our way of life. The history of the American character is filled with triumph as well as tragedy, and with virtue as well as vice. It is a story of cooperation and conflict among an unruly people, who from earliest days questioned authority even as they worked to establish communities of faith, family, and local freedom under extreme circumstances.
Bruce P. Frohnen is professor of Law at the Ohio Northern University College of Law and Senior Fellow at the Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal.
Ted V. McAllister is the Edward L. Gaylord Chair and professor of Public Policy at Pepperdine School of Public Policy.
