Beverly Gage: This Land Is Your Land, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Pulitzer Prize--winning author of G-Man and acclaimed historian Beverly Gage takes the ultimate road trip into the American past.

Ride along with Pulitzer Prize--winning historian Beverly Gage as she travels the country to see the museums, historic sites, roadside attractions, reenactments, and souvenir shops where Americans learn---and fight---about our history. From the birth of the nation in Philadelphia to Disneyland and the California dream, This Land Is Your Land offers a guided tour of thirteen places and thirteen key moments that define America's greatest successes and challenges.

The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a document that proclaimed the liberty and equality of all human beings, but produced a country that often failed to agree upon---or live up to---those ideals. This Land Is Your Land is for everyone who wants to find that history---to experience it and confront it, to celebrate it and condemn it---in the places where it happened.

Gage shows that Americans can face their past and still love their country. Toss the book in the back seat---or listen on audio with the windows down---and join the journey.
