SUMMARY:Colin Woodard Nations Apart: The Past & Future of Our Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Historian and bestselling author Colin Woodard will present the Salem Athenaeum's 2026 Adams Lecture on his latest book\, Nations Apart: How Clashing Regional Cultures Shattered America. In this timely study\, Woodard reveals how centuries-old regional differences have brought American democracy to the brink of collapse while also presenting a powerful story that can bridge our cultural divisions and save the republic.\n\nThe colonial era settlement patterns and the cultural geography they left behind are at the root of our political polarization\, economic inequality\, and public health crises. Woodard will discuss his road map to right the country based on the document that first bound our regions together: the Declaration of Independence.\n\nColin Woodard is a New York Times bestselling author\, award-winning journalist\, and director of the Nationhood Lab at Salve Regina University's Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy. His work examines the regional cultures of North America and their role in shaping the nation's politics\, identity\, and future. A recipient of the George Polk Award and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize\, Mr. Woodard has reported from more than fifty countries and is the author of seven books\, including American Nations\, Union\, and Nations Apart. His work has been translated into thirteen languages and has inspired both television and video game projects. He lives in Maine.\n\n\n\nWhen and Where: April 16\, 2026\n\n5:00 p.m.   Meet Colin!
