Alan Wolfe
Alan Wolfe's work in recent years has focused on cultural and religious issues in American politics.
Wolfe's One Nation, After All (1999) argued that the “culture war” was largely the work of intellectuals; most Americans were not deeply divided over moral issues. His book The Transformation of American Religion (2003) used ethnographic data to argue that American religion has been shaped by American culture more than the other way around. Wolfe's latest book, Return to Greatness: How America Lost Its Sense of Purpose and What It Needs to Do to Recover It (2005), offers a fresh take on American national identity and purpose. Wolfe looks back at specific moments in our national experience when, in the face of sharp resistance, aspirations for the idea of national greatness shaped American history.
