La Floride Cœur révélateur des États-Unis

  • Finaliste du National Book Award
  • Publication type: Book
  • Author: Allman (Timothy D.)
  • Abstract: Over the centuries, Florida has been many things: a virgin territory protected by its geography, a wilderness that defeated the Spanish conquistadors, and a land of hope. Today, Florida is a vibrant, multicultural place that plays a vital role in twenty-first-century America. From slavery to the era of Donald Trump, the prism of Florida sheds light on the whole of America. T. D. Allman’s book casts a shadow over the story of the twenty-seventh American state, against the tide of the common myths. This is an unsettling, important work.
