Who owns America’s history, and who gets to decide its future? As battles over education, land, and identity escalate, our writers explore the forces shaping our nation. Mya Frazier investigates how big tech is swallowing up farmland in Ohio, while Ted Conover takes us inside off-grid communities in Colorado. Robert Kunzig traces the long shadow of land theft in the Mississippi Delta, and Victoria Chang’s poetry reflects on the legacy of anti-Chinese violence. Dean Bakopoulos examines the fragile nature of memory itself. Plus, Will Boast, Michael Croley, Amanda Gunn, Tailyr Irvine and others.
