This week, we look at nationalism in The Hunger Games trilogy, and of course Brittany brings up how the old white male president is the perfect symbol for nationalism and imperialism. We also think a lot about what made certain districts exhibit nationalism vs revolution, and wish the books addressed international applications a little more overtly. (Let's face it, the U.S. is the Capitol after all.)
