"In this pictorial stunner, debut creator Aberg-Riger demonstrates the U.S.’s continually expanding history via nonlinear chronology that covers ground between the late 18th century and the 21st century.  Aberg-Riger examines how each individual story tackles issues surrounding identity in politics, allowing readers to make connections and interrogate how seemingly isolated societal struggles intersect with one another. This work enthralls from start to finish, culminating in a triumphant victory that tackles censorship and revisionist history." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Beautifully illustrated, riveting, enraging, and empowering: a must-read." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"In this interactive, visually stunning compilation, Aberg-Riger assembles some of the stories U.S. history textbooks typically leave out.

An essential resource to promote perspective and dialogue around American identity." — Booklist (starred review)

“America Redux is THE history book that belongs in every high school in America. Aberg-Riger has provided a necessary and insightful conversation about history that highlights the history makers we know so little about. America can’t know where it’s going unless it knows where it’s been, and America Redux is the ultimate guide for that.” — Angie Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give

"America Redux is RAD. Incredible to look at and fascinating to read. It's also badass, brilliant, fun, super clever, and utterly unflinching when it comes to telling the real and often brutal histories of these United States." — Kate Schatz, New York Times-bestselling author of Rad American Women A-Z and Do the Work: An Antiracist Activity Book
