In his new book, American Contradiction, acclaimed Princeton sociologist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Paul Starr offers a sweeping account of how we arrived at this moment, tracing U.S. history from the 1950s to the present. Drawing on the intertwined stories of progressive movements and the powerful reactions they provoked, Starr explores how struggles over race, gender, rights, and economic inequality have reshaped—and polarized—the nation.Join Starr and GSPP Associate Professor Jake Grumbach for an illuminating discussion of the deep tensions between a rapidly changing people and the institutions that resist that change, and what this means for the future of American democracy.This event is part of the Goldman School of Public Policy’s Democracy Book Club series, which features authors whose work enriches our understanding of democracy by examining the institutions, policies, and civic traditions that shape democratic life.-----For disability-related accommodations, please contact the access coordinator in advance of the event: Elisabeth Mart, elismart@berkeley.edu
