In Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America, HEATHER COX RICHARDSON offers a compelling and original narrative of how, over the decades, a small group of wealthy people have made war on American ideals. In TRACY K. SMITH’s To Free the Captives: A Plea for the American Soul, she looks at the constant assaults on Black life, drawing on several avenues of thinking – personal, documentary, and spiritual – to understand who we are as a nation and what we might hope to mean to one another.
