AlbakiReads Editorial

A portrait of Americans beyond the divide

Drawing on more than three decades of reporting across the country, Bill Newcott considers how Americans relate to people on the other side of political differences. The book contrasts the divisions prominent in everyday media with encounters Newcott describes as marked by generosity, cooperation, and a desire for reconciliation. Its subject is political division, but its emphasis is on shared ground and collective life across those divides. The account is presented through Newcott’s observations from assignments around the United States, with the description also pointing to humor and attention to human quirks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in political biography and American civic life.
  • Readers curious about accounts of cross-partisan encounters and reconciliation.
  • Readers seeking a perspective on common ground amid political differences.

Book overview

In Divided We Stand, Bill Newcott - longtime senior editor/writer for National Geographic and AARP the Magazine - discovers a country that is not what we see in our daily doom scrolls. While Americans may well face many irreconcilable differences, when they actually come face-to-face with their political opposites, their first instinct is to find common ground. After more than three decades crisscrossing the nation on assignment, Newcott saw a bigger, more generous picture of his fellow Americans: Universally generous in times of trouble, always willing to collaborate toward common goals, and hungering for reconciliation with former opponents. With offbeat humor and an eye for the most appealing of human quirks, Bill Newcott has an essential message for America: We are all in this together... no matter what.
