Wasps The Splendors and Miseries of an American Aristocracy [#276245]
Wasps: The Splendors and Miseries of an American Aristocracy by Michael Knox Beran
English | August 3rd, 2021 | ISBN: 1643137069 | 416 pages | True EPUB | 11.48 MB
An examination of WASP culture through the lives of some of its most prominent figures. Envied and lampooned, misunderstood and yet distinctly American, WASPs are as much a culture, socioeconomic and ethnic designation, and state of mind.
Charming, witty, and vigorously researced, WASPS traces the rise and fall of this distinctly American phenomenon through the lives of prominent icons from Henry Adams and Theodore Roosevelt to George Santayana and John Jay Chapman.
Throughout this dynamic story, Beran chronicles the efforts of WASPs to better the world around them as well as the struggles of these WASPs to break free from their restrictive culture. The death of George H. W. Bush brought about reflections on the end of patrician WASP culture, where privilege reigned, but so did a genuine desire to use that privilege for public service.
In the time of Trump-who is the antithesis of true WASP culture-people look at the John Kerry, Bobby Kennedy, and Philip and Kay Grahams of the world with wistfulness.
And even though we are a more diverse and pluralistic nation now than ever before, there is something about WASP culture that remains enduringly aspirational and fascinating.
Beginning at the turn of the 20th century, Beran's saga dramatizes the evolving American aristocracy that forever changed a nation-and what we can still glean from WASP culture as we enter a new era.
