FreeEvent Navigation
Harvard Book Store and Mass Humanities welcome travel writer DOUG MACK, author of Europe on Five Wrong Turns a Day, for a discussion of his latest book, The Not-Quite States of America: Dispatches from the Territories and Other Far-Flung Outposts of the USA.
The Not-Quite States of America is an entertaining account of the territories’ place in the USA, and it raises fascinating questions about the nature of empire. As MACK shows, the territories aren’t mere footnotes to American history; they are a crucial part of the story.
This event is co-sponsored with Mass Humanities.
This book will be for sale at the event for 20% off. There will also be a signing after the event.
No tickets required for attendance.
