À propos de cet audio
America’s top historians set the record straight on the most pernicious myths about our nation’s past.
The United States is in the grip of a crisis of bad history. Distortions of the past promoted in the conservative media have led large numbers of Americans to believe in fictions over facts, making constructive dialogue impossible and imperiling our democracy.
In Myth America, Kevin M. Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer have assembled an all-star team of fellow historians to push back against this misinformation. The contributors debunk narratives that portray the New Deal and Great Society as failures, immigrants as hostile invaders, and feminists as anti-family warriors—among numerous other partisan lies. Based on a firm foundation of historical scholarship, their findings revitalize our understanding of American history.
Replacing myths with research and reality, Myth America is essential listening amid today’s heated debates about our nation’s past.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An Abundance of Important Information
This was a great listen. It really goes into so much depth on every subject, it was almost overkill with the amount of backstory and analysis but it delivers exactly what it promises. If I had one complaint it would be that for many of the chapters it talks endlessly about the past without working to connect it to the narratives being presented today. So many of these false narratives are pushed for insidious reasons today, being shoved down people's throats as propaganda, and I would have loved to see the modern culprits called out more specifically. Instead, it's usually "Here is a misconception, here is a ton of evidence from the 1880s showing how that is wrong, here is a conclusion". I wanted to hear more about who is spreading these lies, how and why they are spreading them, and connect all of the backstory to the contemporary example.
Still, despite this one flaw, I found this to be a worthwhile read and it exposes some hard truths about misinformation in America.
