A review by laurenmsilverman
Anti-Intellectualism in American Life by Richard Hofstadter

5.0

This book was recommended to me by one of my college professors and I'm so glad I read it. It shows its age in a handful of spots (as always, read with context in mind) but is otherwise freakishly relatable for the modern day. Many of these passages could be marked with a 2021 copyright and I'd believe it. Hofstadter expands upon a lot of opinions I've held in the past but never explored on a deeper level. Validating to say the least!
