American Nations: The Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America and the 2016 Election Landscape
September 22, 2015, 7:00 PM
There's never been one America, Colin Woodard argues in this award-winning book, but rather several Americas, each with its own, centuries-old ideals, values, and religious and cultural heritage. Understanding the real map of the continent and its rival cultures is essential to grasping our history, from the divisions of the American Revolution and Civil War to the "blue county/red county" maps of past and present elections cycles.
Colin Woodard is a state and national affairs writer at the Portland Press Herald, the Maine Sunday Telegram and the New York Times.
