This is the first concise study to give full credit to the collaboration of works between French nobleman, writer and politician Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-59) and his travel companion and friend Gustave de Beaumont (1802-66), and puts this collaboration into its social, historical and theoretical context.

This is a concise but comprehensive introduction to modern American social and political thought. The author demonstrates the rich intellectual tradition of the United States and facilitates a better understanding of American society and politics through exploration of key social and political theories and theorists.
