Description

Stories matter. They help us digest information, make sense of our world, learn valuable lessons, understand ourselves, store information, find meaning, and remember.

Our stories can define us, tell us who we are, and who we might yet become.

Researchers tell us that stories are one of the most elemental ways we process information.

We understand the world through stories. Stories are accessible to our brains; we can more easily process narratives.

They make sense to us. This book takes political storytelling seriously. Research on the brain indicates that humans learn from and profit from narratives.

They help us make sense of a complex world, teach us important lessons, socialize us into society, are agents of education, information, and entertainment.

How best to receive and process new information? As stories are important to us, so too are political narrative as a key to our identities.

So many of our political views and subsequent behavior have roots in the myths and stories of America.

This book examines stories of our lives as presented in paintings, music, and films.

When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.
