Translated by Elizabeth Trapnell Rawlings; Abridged with an introduction by Michael Kammen Tocqueville's classic nineteenth-century study of American politics, society, and culture available, finally! In a brief and accessible version. Following are the features: an abridged version of Tocqeville' classic text; chapters selected are those that are, by consensus among scholars and teachers, the most representative of Tocqueville's thinking and those that continue to have considerable resonance; and, editor's introduction helps students get the most out of the work, providing historical and intellectual background.Designed for instructors who are eager to teach Tocqueville's classic study of American politics, society, and culture but reluctant to assign all 700 plus pages, Kammen's careful abridgment features the most well-known chapters that by scholarly consensus are most representative of Tocqueville's thinking on a wide variety of issues.
