American Nations: The Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America
There’s never been one America, Colin Woodard argues in this award-winning book, but rather several Americas, each with its own, centuries-old ideals, values, and religious and cultural heritage. Understanding the real map of the continent and its rival cultures is essential to grasping our history, from the divisions of the American Revolution and Civil War to the “blue county / red county” maps of past and recent elections.
Colin Woodard, an award-winning author and journalist, is currently State & National Affairs Writer at the Portland Press Herald and Maine Sunday Telegram. He is a longtime foreign correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor and The Chronicle of Higher Education and a contributing editor at Down East magazine. A native of Maine, he has reported from more than fifty foreign countries and six continents, and lived for more than four years in Eastern Europe. He is the author of American Nations: A History of The Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America (Viking Press, 2011), The Republic of Pirates: Being The True and Surprising Story of the Caribbean Pirates and the Man Who Brought Them Down (Harcourt, 2007), the New England bestseller The Lobster Coast: Rebels, Rusticators, and the Struggle for a Forgotten Frontier (Viking Press, 2004), a cultural and environmental history of coastal Maine, and Ocean’s End: Travels Through Endangered Seas (Basic Books, 2000), a narrative non-fiction account of the deterioration of the world’s oceans. He lives in Portland, Maine. www.colinwoodard.com
