The United States: Sacred and Profane

Join Don Watson as he traces how the central conflicts of the United States – those over freedom, race, frontiers, enterprise, religion and violence – play out through its history: a country at war with itself in the 1860s, the leader of the free world less than a hundred years later, and a nation beset by wild division and turmoil in the twenty-first century.

Featuring an introduction from Prof Michael Wesley, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Global Culture & Engagement) at the University of Melbourne.
