In Why We’re Polarized, Klein reveals the structural and psychological forces behind America’s descent into division and dysfunction. Neither a polemic nor a lament, this book offers a clear framework for understanding everything from Trump’s rise to the Democratic Party’s leftward shift to the politicization of everyday culture. America is polarized, first and foremost, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics.

Essential Reading
Revisado: 07-02-22
Klein insightfully presents both the foundations of and the current situation of cultural polarization in the United States. The social and cultural forces which are embedded in our particular democracy present both a powerful form of mutual responsibility and, as we see today, ideologically aligned divisions. This book reminds us of the vulnerability of our nation as well as our true potential if we can keep ourselves out if the mire of structural binary opposition. A quick, entertaining, and, ultimately, inspiring text.

Our current climate of partisan fury is not new, and in The Soul of America Meacham shows us how what Abraham Lincoln called the “better angels of our nature” have repeatedly won the day. Painting surprising portraits of Lincoln and other presidents, including Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and LBJ, and illuminating the courage of influential citizen activists and civil rights pioneers, Meacham brings vividly to life turning points in American history. Each of these dramatic hours have been shaped by the contest to lead the country to look forward rather than back.

Decidedly Progressive yet Inclusive
Revisado: 11-23-18
Jon Meacham’s historical research and framing provides extraordinary insight into our nation’s periodic challenges to ongoing development of our identity. It is reassuring to note that our current divisions between the liberal desire for social justice and the conservative desire for preservation of structures and narratives are not new. The text reminds us of or history and also of the slow bend toward social justice (thank you, Dr. King).
