[1st ed] Anti-Intellectualism in American Life

First edition of Pulitzer-prize winning historian Richard Hoftstadter’s influential and (unfortunately) still topical study of anti-intellectualist tendencies in American culture, politics, religion, business, and education—and polemic advocating a dynamic role for the intellectual in a democratic society. Published in 1963 by Alfred A. Knopf. Hardcover with dust jacket, large 8vo, 434 pages plus index. Light bumping and rubbing to dj, with some chipping to top edge. Contents clean and bright.
