North America was settled by people with distinct religious, political, and ethnographic characteristics, creating regional cultures that have been at odds with one another ever since. Subsequent immigrants didn't confront or assimilate into an "American" or "Canadian" culture, but rather into one of the 11 distinct regional ones that spread over the continent each staking out mutually exclusive territory. In American Nations, Colin Woodard leads us on a journey through the history of our fractured continent....

He is a Jew who was raised during the extreme anti-Semitism of the Great Depression. Having witnessed the fruits of the New Deal firsthand, Beir became a Roosevelt scholar.

Two years ago, I went to Bali. Spoiler alert: I didn't really like it. It's too touristy for my taste. One of the moments I enjoyed most was the sunrise on Mount Batur. It was really great! I was able to book this activity online on a specialized website. But there's one activity that made me raise an eyebrow: a tour of the island's Instagrammable spots! What the f**k?! But where have the encounters gone? The human connections? Traveling isn't just about standing in line to take a photo of an Instagrammable place that everyone has already done. I find this vision sad and reductive, but it ...

America is a smuggler nation. Our long history of illicit imports has ranged from West Indies molasses and Dutch gunpowder in the 18th century, to British industrial technologies and African slaves in the 19th century, to French condoms and Canadian booze in the early 20th century, to Mexican workers and Colombian cocaine in the modern era. Contraband capitalism, it turns out, has been an integral part of American capitalism.

Eine junge Frau, die in Deutschland geboren wurde, (aufgrund ihrer Hautfarbe) aber häufig nach ihrer Herkunft gefragt wird, trifft sich mit einer nicht mehr ganz so, aber immer noch jungen Frau aus Italien, die seit vielen Jahren in Deutschland lebt und ebenso häufig nach ihrer Herkunft gefragt wird. Das Ergebnis? Witzige und gleichzeitig tiefe Gespräche über Identität, Heimat, Rassismus und Gesellschaft, die zur Diskussion anregen und vielleicht Verständnis wecken. Bei „Die Farbe der Nation“ wird direkt und ungefiltert über die Dinge geredet die uns interessieren und bewegen. Folgt...
