A Great Disorder

National Myth and the Battle for America

Beschreibung

The culture wars are pitting us against each other with a vitriol that is fueling outright violence. Slotkin looks to the foundational myths that have shaped American identityâ the Frontier, the Founding, the Civil War (Emancipation and the Lost Cause), and the Good Warâ and reveals why they are bringing the US to the brink of an existential crisis.
