The Blue Monkey Review

Since November 3, we have heard more and more about the divide in the United States between Red and Blue. In the interest of making Red America more comprehensible to Blue America, I have asked for contributions on life in the Red. The authors who I have contacted are all people who have lived in (sometimes were born and grew up in) Blue America and know it well. But all of them either currently live, or have lived for long periods, in the Red states.
Their insights and observations should help all of us recognize difference and commonality among Americans.
