"The Fractious Nation? may well change the debate on issues ranging from multiculturalism and race relations to governance and public philosophy."--William A. Galston, author of "Liberal Purposes: Goods, Virtues, and Diversity on the Liberal State
"The virtue of this stunning collection of essays is the shrewd moderation of its authors, who explain that while we in the United States have serious social conflict, we also have the intellectual resources to address it. Most of all, "The Fractious Nation, whose contributors embrace very different political approaches, reminds us that we must struggle to understand what constitutes nationhood in this difficult century."--Stanley N. Katz, professor, Woodrow Wilson School, and director of Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies, Princeton University

The breadth of talent assembled between the covers of this book is simply awesome."--Robert Suro, author of "Strangers among Us: Latino Lives in a Changing America

Stephen Warner, author of "New Wine in Old Wineskins: Evangelicals and Liberals in a Small-Town Church "
