Self-rule
A Cultural History of American Democracy
Book • 1995
In Self-Rule, Robert H. Wiebe traces the abrupt arrival of democracy in 19th-century America and its dramatic changes in the 20th century.
He examines how individualism, once integrated with collective self-governance, became dominant, while majoritarian practices were sidelined, leading to contemporary democracy's internal conflicts.
Wiebe assesses the polarized state of modern American democracy and suggests paths forward based on historical insights.
