Description

As political dishonesty continues to infect the ongoing process of history's creation, a diverse group of America's best fiction writers take on the challenge of creating counter-narratives. This ground-breaking anthology seeks to challenge, tease and expand upon the hegemonic, single narrative of mainstream American history - moving beyond the canonical to create a patchwork, anecdotal history of the young nation. Here are the moments and the people left out of the textbooks.
