Reviews

In this sweeping, thoughtfully organized study of the recent American past, eminent historian Philip Jenkins persuasively argues that the past two decades rank among the most momentous in US history. Rethinking a Nation will be of great interest to those hoping to better understand today's political and cultural landscape. * Paul Renfro, Florida State University, USA * From the culture wars to the war on drugs, Black Lives Matter to #MeToo, this deeply researched and accessible book ensures readers are informed of both the longer term and recent trends shaping the contemporary landscape in the United States. * Christopher Fuller, University of Southampton, UK * It can be hard to make historical sense of our own contemporary moment. But in Rethinking a Nation, Philip Jenkins takes readers on a whirlwind tour of American life in the first two decades of the new century. Along the way, he captures the accelerating changes that are remaking the social, cultural, political and technological worlds we inhabit. A fun, accessible read. * Natasha Zaretsky, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, USA *
