With the wit and verve that has made her the acclaimed national historian of a generation, Jill Lepore reflects on the consuming fissures of this era: culture wars and media corrosion; disruptive innovation and techno-utopianism; constitutional crises surrounding gun rights and a reckoning with a deep history of racial violence. \nThese essays make sense of American life in a moment of polarization, capturing the tumultuous relationship between the country's violent past and fractured present.\nPraise for Jill Lepore:\n'The pre-eminent historian of forgotten tales from America's past' David Runciman\n'A person can't help but feel inspired by the riveting intelligence and joyful curiosity of Lepore' George Saunders\n'Lepore writes history like a poet' Dan Snow\n'Lepore is that rare combination in modern life of intellect, originality and style' Amanda Foreman","brand":"John Murray Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49761018249504,"sku":"9781399810197","price":12.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781399810197.jpg?v=1785249448","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/american-beast-jill-lepore-9781399810197","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
