Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America (en Inglés) - Heather Cox Richardson

For people like me, who have lived all my life in a "pseudo" democracy, for the US was founded on democratic tenets that didn't embrace blacks, women, and many other groups not aligned with hierarchic privilege, but it has offered me a good amount of social comfort. Until now that Trump is back. Reading US history à la Heather Cox Richardson has provided me with a lot of knowledge of how we have reached this point, where it seems that the US is no longer a democracy. Knowledge in times like this, until it is available to us, makes me feel that I still have something to look forward to. Cox Richardson isn't a foolish, highfalutin historian, she writes for the people and not exclusively for other specialized gentry. It is an excellent read.

Absolutely a necessary read to understand where we are in history. A crossroad of facism in America and how we got here. Factual. I recommand it for international journalists who comment on American politics without its historical backbone .
