Make a WISE Gift
From the return of “love it or leave it” and renewed attention to Colin Kaepernick’s anthem protests to debates over the New York Times’ 1619 Project, 2019 has seen a number of prominent discussions center around critiques of America. But these are simply the latest salvos in a foundational and ongoing contest between celebratory and critical patriotisms. Examining these competing forms of patriotism helps us better understand and take part in current debates.
