Making the World Over
Confronting Racism, Misogyny, and Xenophobia in U.S. History
R. Marie Griffith(0)
About
Political polarization and unrest are not exclusive to our era, but in the
twenty-first century, we are living with seemingly unresolvable disagreements that threaten to
tear our country apart. Discrimination, racism, tyranny, religious fundamentalism, political
schisms, misogyny, "fake news," border walls, the #MeToo moment, foreign intervention
in our electoral process-these cultural and social rifts charge our world, and we have failed to
find a path toward agreement or unity.
As Much Truth as One Can Bear is Marie
Griffith's thoughtful response to an imperiled nation that has forgotten how to listen and
debate productively, at a time when it needs vigorous discourse more than ever. Griffith
performs the urgent work of examining the histories behind the issues at the root of our
country's conflicts both past and present, from race and immigration to misogyny and
reproductive rights. This is more than a study of the issues; it is an attempt to shed real
light on how to encourage constructive dialogue and move society forward.
