This Land Is Your Land: A Road Trip Through U.S. History

byBeverly Gage

Beverly Gage travels across the United States to explore how landscapes, monuments, roads, buildings, and overlooked places hold the country's contested history. Each stop connects a physical location with larger struggles over democracy, race, labor, citizenship, memory, and national identity. The road-trip structure brings celebrated landmarks into conversation with communities and events often left outside familiar narratives. Gage presents American history as something encountered in the present rather than sealed in the past, inviting readers to notice whose stories a place preserves, whose it obscures, and how those choices shape belonging.
