Explaining America

Has America, once noted for freedom, stability, and leadership, gotten out of touch with rest of the world?

America’s laws, customs, and traditions now appear increasingly dated. Why do we obsess over guns, lack universal healthcare, dismiss climate change, lag in human rights, and accept government dysfunction? How did Trump get to be President? What characteristics define Americans? How are they displayed?

 

This timely book describes how our history and culture dictates who we are today and what we do, socially and politically.
