It was November 1806. The explorers had gone without food for one day, then two. Their leader, not yet thirty, drove on, determined to ascend the great mountain. Waist deep in snow, he reluctantly turned back. But Zebulon Pike had not been defeated. His name remained on the unclimbed peak-and new adventures lay ahead of him and his republic. In Citizen Explorer, historian Jared Orsi provides the first modern biography of this soldier and explorer, who rivaled contemporaries Meriwether Lewis and William Clark.

Harris-Perry uses multiple methods of inquiry, including literary analysis, political theory, focus groups, surveys, and experimental research, to understand more deeply black women's political and emotional responses to pervasive negative race and gender images.

Every Citizen a Statesman recounts an abandoned effort to create a democratic foreign policy.

Unlike Europe, where people move between countries but rarely assimilate fully, America stands out as a cultural melting pot, and Steiners experiences provide a testament to this.

From colonial times into the 20th century, our laws and court cases ignored atheism, assuming that all good Americans were religious. Only in the 20th century, with the passage of laws allowing for conscientious objection to war, did nonbelief enter debates about religious liberty. Still, today every one of the 20 states has God written into its constitution. God is everywhere in American public life. R. Laurence Moore and Isaac Kramnick explore both God's omnipresence and the dramatic rise in nonbelievers that has led to an "atheist awakening" intent on holding the country to its secular principles.

Today the United States, and the world, appear more divided than ever before. Are we condemned to factionalism, alienation, and ultimately democratic and global collapse?

In Citizens' History, we pursue a better understanding of the common good, expose assumptions masquerading as self-evident truths, and ask how the academy can better serve society. We explore the contested meanings of the core concepts of our country and world today: truth, freedom, democracy, ...
