Super Short Summary

The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America by Greg Grandin examines how the concept of the frontier has been used throughout American history to manage domestic conflicts, enforce racial violence, and justify expansionism. As the myth of endless prosperity wanes in a limited world, Grandin argues that unresolved internal conflicts are now surfacing, epitomized by the proposed border wall. The book includes discussions of racial and genocidal violence.
