nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The great promise of our national motto, E pluribus unum, has always been just beyond our reach. Forging a unified American identity out of the many peoples who claim it as their own is what Abraham Lincoln referred to as our 'great unfinished work.' In an era when that identity seems more elusive than ever, with democracy itself under siege, this anthology is a reflection on the core values that hold us together. In 26 essays by American campaigners, builders, entrepreneurs, journalists, theologians, and historians, this collection confronts the universal and radically democratic values at the heart of the American project. At this time, when the country needs a new movement strong enough to defeat authoritarianism and write democracy's next chapter, the essays urge us to remember what inspired the people who came before us, who managed time and again to defy tyranny and move the project forward. The authors were asked to look at their fields through a lens of American Universalism-the movement from Lincoln's time that emphasized universal freedom, universal rights, and universal opportunity. The resulting essays are a complex, nuanced look at America today as well as a view toward America tomorrow, as we continue to take on what Lincoln called 'the great task remaining before us.' We present this anthology in the humble hope that it will help us remember the simple, radical American idea that we can also be a single powerful force for good-a people dedicated to the proposition that we are all created equal and free.…

About the Author
Seth Flaxman co-founded Catalyst for American Futures after leading Democracy Works as its founding CEO for 12 years, scaling a critical resource that continues to provide tens of millions of Americans with trusted election information online. His leadership has been recognized in Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30" list, and as a Draper Richards Kaplan entrepreneur, Ashoka Fellow, Aspen Ideas Fellow, and Bluhm Helfand Social Innovation Fellow. Flaxman founded Democracy Works while receiving a MPP at the Harvard Kennedy School and after working at the Council on Foreign Relations. He earned his bachelor's degree at Columbia University, where he was student body president, successfully advocating for the largest expansion of financial aid in the school's history. Flaxman is a seventh-generation New Yorker married to his college sweetheart and is writing a historical fiction novel set in St. Louis, 1861.
Ilyse Hogue is a co-founder of Catalyst for American Futures and a Fellow of Political Reform at New America. Trained as an ecologist, Hogue has put those skills to use in understanding and leveraging systems of power: social movements-both left and right-as well as systems of governance and politics. Her career has spanned issues, diving into opportunities for and barriers to collective and societal progress. As a trained scientist, Hogue has always taken a data-driven and research-grounded orientation to effective strategies to advance social change, honing those skills in her time as a leader at MoveOn.org, where she led the communications and advocacy efforts for the six-million-plus member organization. She spent nearly a decade as the President of NARAL Pro-Choice America (now Reproductive Freedom for All), where she tripled the membership and authored the bestselling book The Lie that Binds about the role of abortion in the long-term plan for the authoritarian takeover of America.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
