Winner of the Pulitzer Prize Winner of the Sidney Hillman Prize Winner of the Phi Beta Kappa Ralph Waldo Emerson Award
Hofstadter's classic work sheds light on many features of the American character. Its concern is not merely to portray the scorners of intellect in American life, but to say something about what the intellectual is, and can be, as a force in a democratic society.
"It illuminates the whole landscape of American social history and allows its readers to see the intellectuals and the anti-intellectuals as they really exist." —Harold Taylor, New York Herald Tribune
