Resilient America follows the authors progressive Americanization, often despite discouraged, sometimes despairing views about national decline and the future of their country voiced by the nativeborn. As a muchtraveled immigrant (and long a citizen), he sees it differently. He compares and contrasts cultures and experiences from his earlier life with those in the United States. He observes the march of American history and concludes that all too often these concerned Americans lack a sense of that history. Their predecessors have worried since the Republics earliest days. Yet the resilient Republic marches on, adapting, evolving, changing.The author examines claims that the United States has peaked and that its national character is insubstantial. He observes resilience and adaptability instead, and an original, persistent, vigorous character. He notes recessions and depressions occurring at regular intervals. Each time, Americans have claimed that the sky was falling. Each time the country resuscitated, returned to its prosperous, profligate ways and paved the way for the next downturn. The countrys moral, spiritual and institutional conditions have also conjured up periodically the falling of the sky, only to regain their equilibrium. The author explores the profounder meaning of these cyclical consistencies.The cumulative effect of dejected rhetoric generates cynicism and resignation, infects the susceptible and undermines the communitarian solidarity which powers American life. But most complaints dont stand up to thoughtful, informed critique. Rather, a centered, enduring, selfrenewing nation emerges, leading to qualified optimism (and to the authors deepening acculturation). These considerations motivate Resilient America.
