Description
America, U.S.A. is a blistering, beautifully written reassessment of the nation’s “unfinished story,” tracing how race and freedom have been shaped—and repeatedly distorted—by the myths Americans tell about themselves. Across the arc of major national anniversaries, Eddie S. Glaude Jr. examines the recurring battles over who gets to define the past and what that choice means for the present and the future. Drawing on a wide constellation of voices and literary traditions, the book reveals the vicious cycles of American history and the country’s persistent refusal to face its true nature. With the urgency of a public intellectual and the craft of a masterful stylist, Glaude invites readers to interrogate innocence, interrogate liberty, and consider what it would take to build a more honest democracy.
