Episode #19: Who Owns America? Lessons from the Civil war

In episode 19 of TAU Unbound, host Ido Aharoni Aronoff is engaging in a fascinating conversation with one of the academic superstars of Tel Aviv University: historian Dr. Yael Strenhell, whose expertise is the American Civil War and its long aftermath. Dr. Sternhell is able to draw parallels from the Civil War era to today’s political struggles. At the core of the discussion: to whom does America belong? It appears that American society is still debating this fundamental question. Yael is the author of the acclaimed "Routes of War: The World of Movement in the Confederate South" (Harvard University Press, 2012). She is holding a joint appointment in the history department and the department of English and American Studies.  https://international.tau.ac.il
