The essential lifestyle guide for the millions of progressives from coast to coast, The Nation Guide to the Nation (VINTAGE BOOKS, 2009) helps left-of-center types find small businesses, cultural institutions, activist organizations, and gathering places in their own hometowns and on the road. A virtual one-stop shop for liberals across America, the book also features selective essays from the likes of Studs Terkel, Francis Fitzgerald, Howard Zinn, Stuart Klawans and Ray Bradbury.

This video, featuring the book’s author Richard Lingeman as well as its two consulting editors, Katrina vanden Heuvel and Victor Navasky, highlights the breadth, depth and fun of this compendium of non-corporate culture in America today.

Can we count on you?

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot. The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government if he should win.

We’ve already seen events that fill us with both dread and cautious optimism—throughout it all, The Nation has been a bulwark against misinformation and an advocate for bold, principled perspectives. Our dedicated writers have sat down with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders for interviews, unpacked the shallow right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and debated the pathway for a Democratic victory in November.

Stories like these and the one you just read are vital at this critical juncture in our country’s history. Now more than ever, we need clear-eyed and deeply reported independent journalism to make sense of the headlines and sort fact from fiction. Donate today and join our 160-year legacy of speaking truth to power and uplifting the voices of grassroots advocates.

Throughout 2024 and what is likely the defining election of our lifetimes, we need your support to continue publishing the insightful journalism you rely on.

Thank you,
The Editors of The Nation
