A conversation between DANIEL BOORSTIN and MARCUS CUNLIFFE
Is the American experience unique, or can American history be compared usefully with that of other societies? How far is the American past - at least as compared to that of Europe - fundamentally an uninterrupted and uniform story of social development?
These are some of the questions discussed by Professor Daniel Boorstin , Director of the National Museum of History and Technology in Washington, and Marcus Cunliffe , Professor of American Studies at the University of Sussex.
