This America

In This America, acclaimed historian Jill Lepore delves into the challenges of nationalism and the decline of liberalism in the 21st century. Rejecting the trend among historians to shy away from national narratives, Lepore argues for a critical examination of America's collective history to guard against the manipulative storytelling of demagogues. This thought-provoking work combines political philosophy with a fresh perspective on America's past, aiming to illuminate both its contradictions and potential for a hopeful future.
