  • American Socialism and American Political Culture

    Geoffrey KurtzARTICLEAmerican Political Thought2021References: 1

    Few have written so astutely about the difficulty of being both socialist and American as did Irving Howe. Seeking a “conciliation” between socialism’s solidaristic values and America’s culture of self-reliant individualism, Howe warned that the American democratic Left could not survive unless it made its peace with America’s “Emersonian” mood. Yet he found Emersonianism too “airy” and appreciated the “thicker” teachings of Hawthorne and Melvill…

This liberal…
