Exploring the narratives of American identity since the Vietnam War, Douglas Dowland examines how various writers, from Hunter S. Thompson to J. D. Vance, articulate contrasting visions of America. He highlights the shift from a unified nation to a divisive "us versus them" mentality, revealing how passionate critiques can foster cynicism and apathy. By analyzing these narratives, Dowland uncovers the complexities of American nationhood and the challenges to unity posed by differing perspectives.
