Abstract:
Biographical note: GreenfeldLiah: Liah Greenfeld is University Professor and Professor of Political Science, Sociology, and Anthropology at Boston University.
Abstract:
A leading interpreter of modernity argues that our culture of limitless self-fulfillment is making millions mentally ill. Training her analytic eye on manic depression and schizophrenia, Liah Greenfeld, in the culminating volume of her trilogy on nationalism, traces these dysfunctions to society’s overburdening demands for self-realization.
