Discover Two Powerful Books by Dennis Joiner

This book looks at American life during a pivotal time (1950-2024) in American history: the Turn. It covers the postwar booms, social movements, the Reagan revolution, the Gulf wars, the war on terror as well as counterculture, protest movements, and the election of two unique presidents. The Turn looks at 75 years from the perspective of social change and modes of thought and the concomitant tension, conflict, and controversy that disaffected Americans who, despite their best efforts to live normal lives, could not escape from a miasma of discontent. The wars, the violence associated with protests, financial crises and a global pandemic, all came at great human cost to many Americans families. This book looks at effects of these occurrences on American society: examining such topics as illiberal religions, the corrupt media, the trappings of greed in politics, globalism, the woke culture; the role of film, television, and music; and more.

The Turn by Dennis Joiner is a powerful exploration of today’s most critical societal issues. It goes beyond surface-level commentary to confront inequality, systemic barriers, and the urgent need for reform, offering readers a lens to better understand the world around them. Joiner’s bold and authentic voice challenges the status quo, weaving personal and political perspectives that make complex issues deeply relatable. More than just critique, The Turn inspires readers with a vision of unity, fairness, and transformation, encouraging them to reflect, question, and ultimately see themselves as part of the solution.
