Description
America’s getting old. It’s soon to celebrate its 250th birthday. But it’s getting harder and harder for its citizens to find anything to agree on. Students pull down statues of Abraham Lincoln, while others rally around Confederacy symbols. In one version of the story, the first ‘Americans’ are brave pioneers; in another, they are settler colonialists. For some, the Founding Fathers are national heroes; for others, they’re enslavers and hypocrites at best.
Award-winning historian Beverly Gage takes us on an all-American road trip, stretching from New York to California, through the Rust Belt and the Deep South, in search of America’s national story. From the Battle of Alamo to the West Virginia Mine Wars, Gage dives into America’s messy contradictions and discovers a country we still can love.
In This Land Is Your Land, Gage delivers a compelling exploration of the nation's contrasting narratives and invites readers to find their own place in America's evolving story.
