The book describes the historical development and major tenets of Elite Theory, and shows how each of four post-war Washington novels—Gore Vidal’s .Washington, D.C.;. Allen Drury’s .Advise and Consent.; Joan Didion’s .Democracy.; and Ward Just’s .Echo House.—illustrates the way class-based political elites exhibit forms of “ruling-class consciousness” and maintain their legitimacy in an ostensibly democratic form of government by promoting themselves as models of behavior, promulgating an ideology that justifies their rule through their control of the media, and accepting new members from the lower classes. Reading these novels through a socio-political lens, David Smit offers suggestions for ways to work for a more just and equitable society in light of what this analysis reveals about the “culture” that produces our political elites.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | elite theory; class studies; ruling elite; Washington political fiction; American studies; cultural studi | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-26769-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-26771-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-26769-8 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
