Particularly relevant in understanding who voted for who in this
presidential election year, this is an endlessly fascinating look
at American regionalism and the eleven "nations" that continue to
shape North America According to award-winning journalist and
historian Colin Woodard, North America is made up of eleven
distinct nations, each with its own unique historical roots. In
American Nations he takes readers on a journey through the history
of our fractured continent, offering a revolutionary and revelatory
take on American identity, and how the conflicts between them have
shaped our past and continue to mold our future. From the Deep
South to the Far West, to Yankeedom to El Norte, Woodard (author of
American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between
Individual Liberty and the Common Good) reveals how each region
continues to uphold its distinguishing ideals and identities today,
with results that can be seen in the composition of the U.S.
Congress or on the county-by-county election maps of any hotly
contested election in our history.
