American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodard

4.0

Fascinating look into the cultural and political underpinnings of the Euroamerican conquests and expansions into North America. This book explains a lot about the fault lines of the differing "nations" that comprise the United States, Canada and Mexico ( hint: there are more than three and they cross state and country borders) I saw that several reviewers didn't appreciate the authors discussion of our current divided/ divisive situation in the US, but I found it to be pretty accurate. While reading the Epilogue, I had to go back and double check the publication date-- book was published in 2011, but eery foresight into recent events that have occurred since.
