With chapters by an international selection of leading authors, the book covers ideas both broad and specific, and presents unique insight into the current state of the nation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe voices included in this volume amplify contemporary concerns, linking them to themes which have existed in the American psyche for decades while also looking to the future. Part One examines meta themes, including history, purity, dominion, and democracy in the age of Trump. Part Two looks at key complexes including race, gender, the environment, immigration, national character, and medicine. The overall message is that it is in wrestling with these complexes that the soul of America is forged or undone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis highly relevant book will be essential reading for academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas, politics, sociology, and American studies.
