Reviews

"""The civic republican tradition that was embodied in the early United States equated freedom with citizenship, expecting citizens of the republic to be able to relate to others, and to the powers that be, without reason for fear or deference. Stephen Minicucci draws brilliantly on this founding tradition to explain what such freedom, such social citizenship, requires in the country today. This book is deep but accessible, challenging but realistic. It offers a bracing and rousing picture of a society still within our reach."" --Philip Pettit, Princeton University ""Written with verve and learning, this call for a vigorous social citizenship makes connections, necessary ones, that link thought, history, and practice. Supplementing the American liberal tradition, its prescriptions for deeper education linked to the grounded experience of service during the transition to adulthood advance ideas and policies regarding civic virtue that should be read urgently and pondered widely."" --Ira Katznelson, Columbia University"
