Introduction: thinking about American democracy -- Democracy's experiment: from inequality to equality -- Achieving a democratic civil society -- Beginnings and history: red and white in Tocqueville's America -- The New England township before the revolution: Tocqueville's American pastoral -- A second beginning: black and white in Tocqueville's America -- Difference, race, and color in America -- Maintaining American democracy -- The state, authority, and the people.

Summary: Mitchell's new study uses Tocqueville's Democracy in America to study the present condition of democracy in the United States. He addresses socio-political tensions to ask if Americans have surrendered to what Tocqueville called the materialization of life, and if they are on their way to radical alienation from politics.
