BOOK

Prof. Jackson on Why America Keeps Bouncing Back.

Been There, Done That: How Our History Shows What We Can Overcome, Prof. Jackson’s new book (publishing 6/16/26) takes us on a chronological journey—from the very start of the republic in 1789, through the end of the nineteenth century—while telling eight stories, tales that engage such topics as political violence, fake news, and contested elections. It’s a candid and earnest history, yet a hopeful one, as we consider how principles that served us in the past, can continue to serve us in the future as we continue to make our nation into a still more perfect union.
