Four centuries later, Americans are still building Cities Upon a Hill. \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eCities on a Hill\u003c\/i\u003e Pulitzer Prize-winner Frances FitzGerald explores this often eccentric, sometimes prophetic inclination in America. With characteristic wit and insight she examines four radically different communities -- a fundamentalist church, a guru-inspired commune, a Sunbelt retirement city, and a gay activist community -- all embodying this visionary drive to shake the past and build anew. \u003cbr\u003e Frances FitzGerald here gives eloquent voice and definition to a quintessentially American impulse. It is a resonant work of literary imagination and journalistic precision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45409260699799,"sku":"9780671645618","price":2079.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780671645618.webp?v=1767311148","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/cities-on-a-hill-a-journey-through-contemporary-american-cultures-9780671645618","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
