The American as Anarchist
Johns Hopkins University Press (Verlag)
978-1-4214-3038-6 (ISBN)
The first part of the book examines how Protestant belief, capitalism, and even the American landscape itself contributed to the unique character of American dissent. DeLeon then looks at the actions and ideologies of all major forms of American radicalism, both individualists and communitarians, from laissez-faire liberals to anarcho-capitalists, from advocates of community control to syndicalists. In the book's final part, DeLeon argues against measuring the American experience by the standards of communism and other political systems. Instead he contends that American culture is far more radical than that of any socialist state and the implications of American radicalism are far more revolutionary than forms of Marxism-Leninism.
David DeLeon is a professor of history at Howard University. He specializes in American intellectual and religious history. He received a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship in Residence for College Teachers (at the University of California, Berkeley) and has written prize-winning radio scripts for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
