About the event

Nations Apart with Colin Woodward - Book Launch @ Four Seasons Books
Join New York Times bestselling author, historian, and award-winning journalist Colin Woodard for the launch of his groundbreaking new book, Nations Apart: How Clashing Regional Cultures Shattered America.

In Nations Apart, Woodard reveals how centuries-old regional differences have brought American democracy to the brink of collapse—and presents a powerful story that can bridge our cultural divisions and save the republic. Drawing on original research from Nationhood Lab at Salve Regina University’s Pell Center, he shows how colonial settlement patterns created enduring cultural geographies that still shape our deep divides.

From political polarization and economic inequality to public health crises and threats to democracy, Nations Apart exposes the real roots of our current moment—and offers a roadmap for renewal grounded in the unifying ideals of the Declaration of Independence. Combining compelling storytelling with scholarly rigor, Woodard’s latest work is both a wake-up call and a blueprint for America’s future.

About the Author:

A leading expert on U.S. regionalism and nationhood, he is the author of seven books including American Nations and Union. A George Polk Award recipient and Pulitzer Prize finalist, his work has appeared in The New York Times, Politico, The Washington Post, The Economist, and more.
