Enough with the dead white men! The true story of the United States lies with its most overlooked and marginalized peoples-the workers, immigrants, housewives, and slaves who built America from the ground up, and who made this country what it is today. In A Most Imperfect Union, cultural critic Ilan Stavans and award-winning cartoonist Lalo Alcaraz present a vibrant history of these unsung Americans. In an irreverent, fast-paced narrative that challenges the conventional narrative of American history, Stavans and Alcaraz offer a fresh, controversial take on the philosophies, products, practices, and people-from Algonquin and African royals to early feminists, Puerto Rican radicals, and Arab immigrants-that have made America such an outsized and extraordinary land.
