Friday Harbor, WA, Aug. 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- John Geyman, M.D. releases his new book, Are We the United States of America? Can We Hold Together as One Country? It examines challenges and ways to restore unity in American democracy.
The goals of this book are: (1) to bring historical perspective to trends in the U. S., especially since World War II; (2) to examine the major forces that have, or are, working toward further decline of sense of community; and (3) to suggest useful approaches to rebuild it locally, regionally and nationally, and to revive the spirit of community and unity as a country.
Increasing diversity, disparities, inequality and inequities over recent decades have led to growing polarization within American society. The two major political parties are more divided than ever with the leadership of one party still believing that the presidential election of 2020 was stolen. Democracy in this country is under siege, with both majority governance and the rule of law under attack, as demonstrated by the January 6, 2021 armed insurrection attack on the U. S. Capitol. As a result of these major events, sense of community is being held hostage to the outcome of this current battle to uphold American democracy.
