A work of history for people who can't stand history? Well, in the spirit of Howard Zinn, it's certainly for those objecting to how American history is commonly portrayed. This work interweaves bite-sized historical essays into a personal narrative of the road.
As a project, A Country without Memory began on a winter road trip in 2007. John Lesage spent a month driving from Seattle to the East Coast of the United States, seeking sites of historical significance. He selected places such as those related to John Brown, Jefferson and Thoreau, noting that history is most often distorted in the realm of racial relations. He uncovers some little known history, and brings a poetic sensibility to historical insight
