"America has never needed its civic creed more than now: a set of texts, myths, and memories that call us to our highest selves even as they reveal the gaps between aspirations and realities. Become America is a powerful call to both introspection and action and a wise set of meditations reflecting the full diversity of what America can be. Read it and pass it on!"--Anne-Marie Slaughter, President and CEO, New America
"Eric Liu has a rare gift for decoding the texts and subtexts of our politics and history. Become America is a wise, deep, and beautifully written look at the American civic soul."-- Henry Louis Gates Jr., professor at Harvard and host of Finding Your Roots on PBS
"Eric Liu writes with deep patriotism and bracing candor about history and our own hearts. This powerful book will remind Americans how to live like citizens capable of keeping a republic. It's a very needed book for our times and an inspirational one as well."--Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs
"With great generosity and hope, Become America calls forward our history to point to our expansive potential as civic beings. This is a work of tremendous grace, love, and reach as it crosses boundaries to illuminate our shared humanity."--Claudia Rankine, author of Citizen: An American Lyric
