Sobre IBD

In the Gettysburg Address of 1863, Abraham Lincoln famously declared that ’government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth’. Since then the phrase has become the proverbial definition of American democracy. In this book, internationally renowned folklorist Wolfgang Mieder explains why and how this happened.
