We begin our conversations for 2021 with the winner of the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction, The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America by Greg Grandin, professor of history at Yale University. Grandin asks us to take a fresh and honest look at the brutal realities behind the myth of American exceptionalism, using the symbols of the frontier and the border wall to frame his discussion of the evolution of American identity and its inextricable roots in capital gained through the paradigm of an extractive economy.
We hope you will join the discussion:
When? Tuesday, January 5, at 6:30 p.m.
