Honor in America?

Meer over het boek

The book delves into Tocqueville's perspectives on various societal aspects, including religion, family dynamics, gender roles, and political structures, as well as his views on Native Americans, white southerners, slavery, and the military. It argues that these insights contribute to the development of a distinct American honor code, blending aristocratic notions of honor with the realities of a modern democratic and capitalist framework.
