These Truths

Jill Lepore

These Truths asks how the United States could claim equality, natural rights, and self-government while practicing conquest, slavery, exclusion, and coercion. Its history connects institutions, movements, media, and technology to the recurring struggle over who belongs to the people and how democracy decides what is true.
