Richard Rorty, Achieving Our Country: Leftist Thought in Twentieth-Century America (Harvard University Press, 1998; 1999) Rorty has little hope in the American Left.

Rorty challenges this lost generation to remember its Leftist roots, starting with Walt Whitman and John Dewey, and to rediscover national pride as a tool toward national self-improvement.
