Now it is home to woke scolds and humorless ideologues. Like their puritanical forebears, new leftists do not abide forms of pleasure that distract from the great work of our time-- righting the wrongs of America's white patriarchal heritage. Progressive Puritans are committed to waging a war on decadence, frivolity, and pleasure for its own sake. Here Rothman uncovers the historical roots of the left's war on fun, and counsels us to rediscover the freedom and joy at the heart of the American experiment. -- adapted from jacket. 650 0 $a Social values $z United States. 650 0 $a Social ethics $z United States. 650 0 $a Progressivism (United States politics) $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Right and left (Political science) $z United States. 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States. 941 $a 3 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117030304.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20221004010440.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220909011552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0300C356300511EDA406B4E81FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
