Summary:

'Lost in the USA' is a work about Americans' search for personal tranquility at the turn of the 21st century. It argues that beneath the surface of prosperity and peace, ordinary Americans were struggling to adjust and adapt to the forces of postmodernity - immigration, multiculturalism, feminism, globalization, deindustrialization - which were radically changing the way Americans understood themselves and each other.
