Description
What begins as a playful, almost absurdly specific question—what’s going on with the Statue of Liberty’s right foot?—turns into a lively nonfiction journey through history, symbolism, and the making of national identity. Dave Eggers and Shawn Harris investigate the statue’s details to uncover how small, overlooked choices can carry big cultural meaning, revealing the acceptance at the heart of America’s story. With Eggers’s signature frank, witty voice and a sense of wonder that never lets the subject feel distant, the book blends art appreciation with civic reflection. Ultimately, it’s a reminder that the foundations of a country are built not only from grand ideals, but from the willingness to welcome others.
