Can Knowledge of the “Other Side” Bridge our Political Divide?

November 21, 2016 by Jennifer

Whom or what do you fear? Is it a manner of thinking? A political ideology? A specific group of people? A new movement? Will you seek out a memoir or even a novel featuring that which is “other” in your mind so that you might combat that fear with understanding? We do not have to all agree. That is the beauty of America. Fear and loathing is not America either. Can books bridge the divide? I think they can!

I read widely, by design, as well as listening to different news sources and reports.
