Drawing on thinkers from Alexis de Tocqueville to Allan Bloom and on such recent works asBeloved, Bonfire of the Vanities,andMississippi Burning, The Cynical Societycelebrates cultural pluralism's role in democracy.Goldfarb, Jeffrey C. is the author of 'Cynical Society The Culture of Politics and the Politics of Culture in American Life', published 1991 under ISBN 9780226301068 and ISBN 0226301060.
