In Restless Nation, James M. Jasper isolates a narrative that lies very close to the core of the American character. From colonial times to the present day, Americans have always had a deep-rooted belief in the "fresh start"—a belief that still has Americans moving from place to place faster than the citizens of any other nation.
James M. Jasper is coauthor of The Animal Rights Crusade and the author of Nuclear Politics. He is also the author of The Art of Moral Protest and coeditor of Passionate Politics, both published by the University of Chicago Press.
