Series Editor: George Cotkin, Professor of History, California Polytechnic State University

IDEAS IN ACTION allows established historians to consider broad and important issues pertaining to cultural and intellectual life in the United States since 1945. The books, based for the most part on secondary literature surrounding a topic, will highlight and dissect compelling controversies related to large cultural questions as they change over time. The series provides authors with an opportunity to interpret, to speculate, and to “think out loud,” while furthering critical debate. Books deal not in abstractions but anchor ideas firmly in the context of politics, culture, and society. They are written in a style that is accessible to a wide range of readers and that captures the author’s personality and point of view.

Books in the Series:

Same Difference: An Alternative History of Gays and Lesbians Since 1945
Martin Meeker

The God that Never Failed: Civil Religion in Postwar America
Raymond J. Haberski, Jr.
