Moving into History: Therapy for the American Identity

Before he knew he was gay, before he would be abused by a priest, John Vore thought of himself, first, and foremost, as an American. In essays written since 9/11 Vore challenges progressives, liberals and would-be victims to think differently: fractured into broken selves with patchwork identities, we can barely see ourselves as Americans, anymore. Our blindness has allowed conservatives to grab the stage of history. With our very individuality broken into psychological factions, how can we challenge them? In remembering our capacity as Americans, Vore shows how we can come together, again. With values rooted in spirituality and an ideology-free look at our lives, he delivers an open invitation to us all, a road-map back to the center of America.
