    In a climate of culture wars and economic uncertainty, America is often reduced to simple dichotomies: red state versus blue state, left versus right. Journalist Dante Chinni and political geographer James Gimpel–the team behind the book, Our Patchwork Nation: The Surprising Truth About Real America–reveal their surprising “12 community” hypothesis about American society, and what it means for our culture now, and in the future. Using on-the-ground reporting--much of it conducted here in Philadelphia--and statistical analysis, they get beyond the generalizations and talking heads to reveal a rich picture of our nation’s political and social predilections, and will analyze November's election results to show what influenced the results and where America may be headed politically.
