A People's America

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the annals of history, few nations have captured the imagination and inspired the aspirations of people around the world like the United States of America. From its humble beginnings as a collection of thirteen colonies to its current position as a global superpower, the American story is one of struggle, triumph, and transformation.

This book takes readers on a comprehensive journey through the rich tapestry of American history, exploring the events, people, and ideas that have shaped this nation. From the first Americans to the present day, we witness the birth of a nation, the expansion of its frontiers, the clash of ideologies, and the pursuit of a more perfect union.

We delve into the tumultuous decades of the 19th century, a time of westward expansion, industrial revolution, and bitter civil conflict. We examine the rise of big business, the labor movement, and the struggle for civil rights. We explore the Roaring Twenties, a decade of unprecedented economic growth and cultural change, followed by the Great Depression, a time of economic hardship and social upheaval.

The 20th century brought global conflict, Cold War tensions, and a profound transformation of American society. We witness the rise of the United States as a global leader, its involvement in major wars, and its role in shaping the postwar world order. We examine the civil rights movement, the counterculture revolution, and the rise of conservatism.

In recent decades, we have seen the rise of the internet, the globalization of the economy, and the emergence of new challenges, both domestic and international. We explore the impact of these developments on American society, politics, and culture. We also look to the future, considering the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for this nation.

Written with a keen eye for detail and a passion for storytelling, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history. It is a comprehensive and engaging account of the events, people, and ideas that have shaped this nation, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the United States and its place in the world.

How to Be a Patriot: Why love of...

Sunder Katwala

How do we define patriotism in a diverse society?What divides us and what brings us together?Why do we feel uncomfortable celebrating our country’s history?
How to be a Patriot offers a new way of understanding our collective identity in a country wracked by division and brimming with markers of selfhood – faith, race, gender, age, sexuality.
Sunder Katwala himself grew up with some questions to work through. As a half-Indian, Irish Catholic child of the NHS, the chequered history of post-imperial Britain seemed very personal to him, but he realised that with that background he could hardly be anything but British, and proud of it too.
His timely and clear-eyed analysis seeks to navigate the many crises of this increasingly disunited kingdom: extremism and integration after 7/7; fear of immigration and the deep divides of Brexit; the resurgence of online racism; and the debate over our cultural heritage. Equipped with a nuanced understanding of the subject and a wealth of supporting data, he sets out to foster a more open and tolerant society: one that welcomes alternative ideas and cultures rather than shutting them out.
Ultimately, How to be a Patriot is a rousing story of lives lived together and shared values. Far from being divisive, it concludes, an inclusive and confident patriotism is a reminder that our differences need not define us.
Sunder Katwala's How to be a Patriot is a top non-fiction book that offers a unique perspective on nationalism and policy. It's a public commentary on the social science of our time, exploring discrimination and ideologies.
For fans of Tony Blair (A Journey), Matthew J. Goodwin (Values, Voice and Virtue), Isabel Hardman (Fighting for Life), Doug Stokes (Against Decolonisation), and Andy Burnham (Head North).

America’s Most Notorious...

Editors Charles River

From the “Trail of Tears” to Wounded Knee and Little Bighorn, the narrative of American history is incomplete without the inclusion of the Native Americans that lived on the continent before European settlers arrived in the 16th and 17th centuries. Since the first contact between natives and settlers, tribes like the Sioux, Cherokee, and Navajo have both fascinated and perplexed outsiders with their history, language, and culture.  
	Though they are not as well known as tribes like the Sioux or Cherokee, the Creek are one of the oldest and most important Native American tribes in North America. With roots that tie them to the Ancient Moundbuilders, the Natchez were one of the most established groups in the Southeastern United States, and came to be known as one of the Five Civilized Tribes. It’s also believed that they were among the first natives encountered by Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto’s historic expedition in the mid-16th century.  
	Like various other indigenous groups, the Natchez quickly found themselves in conflict with European powers, most notably the French, who they engaged in a series of battles with during the early 18th century. The French decimated the tribe and led to the dispersal of their dwindling numbers, but the Natchez continue to occupy popular imaginations because of several unique features that make them stand out from other groups. 
The ongoing fighting between white settlers, militias, Army units, and Native Americans not only bled into the War of 1812 but was one of the main causes of it. Many Americans chaffed at the fact that along the Northwestern frontier, the British in Canada were supporting Indian resistance to American settlement.
