The American Crisis
The American Crisis: What Went Wrong. How We Recover. | Writers of The Atlantic
6 posts | 1 read
Some of America’s best reporters and thinkers offer an urgent look at a country in chaos in this collection of timely, often prophetic articles from The Atlantic. The past four years in the United States have been among the most turbulent in our history—and would have been so even without a global pandemic and waves of protest nationwide against police violence. Drawn from the recent work of The Atlantic staff writers and contributors, The American Crisis explores the factors that led us to the present moment: racial division, economic inequality, political dysfunction, the hollowing out of government, the devaluation of truth, and the unique threat posed by Donald Trump. Today’s emergencies expose pathologies years in the making. Featuring leading voices from The Atlantic, one of the country’s most widely read and influential magazines, The American Crisis is a broad and essential look at the condition of America today—and at the qualities of national character that may yet offer hope.

My library hold for this one just came in, but I'm not sure if I even want to read it. I'm enjoying Biden's victory too much to want to read about this piece of shit anymore.

Chrissyreadit I lean toward needing strategies in supporting truth telling. Living in WV has left me witnessing things I never could have believed about dishonesty from leadership and full blown lies in action with devastating consequences. 3y

I naively believed that the democratic experiment in this country is foolproof and that nothing can ever precipitate its fall. How wrong was I. Reading this book, I have come to the conclusion, that there are so many loopholes and fissures that can easily rip our country apart. This presidency is elucidating how vulnerable we and our country are. It is up to us to stay vigilant and be engaged. This book shows us how we can keep our country safe.
