11 Mar The Roots of American Division Today
Order Instructions
As we delve further into the book Wildland this week, you’ll be reading more about the narratives of several individuals author Evan Osnos uses to present his argument / hypothesis about why, in his view, political and social cohesion in the U.S. is fraying.
(Note: at our discussion this week, we’ll take up discussion of some of the specific narratives in the book.)
For the DB this week, please pick one of the individuals Osnos writes about and discuss them here:
1. How does Osnos use the story of this person to make a point about “the making of America’s fury”?
2. What aspects of Osnos’s explicit or implicit presentation of this character’s story resonate with you as supporting Osnos’s thesis? What aspects do not? Why?
