Trump's Wall and the End of the American Frontier
February 28, 2020
In this episode, Laura interviews author and Yale historian Greg Grandin about his new book The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America. They explore how America's foundational myth of progress has given way to protectionism. Will opposition to the wall finally force us to reckon with the white supremecist conquest the frontier myth has always but thinly veiled? And what can we do to replace destructive myths with productive truths?
