By exposing students to primary sources, the building blocks of history, Constructing the American Past fosters a solid foundation and invites its readers to analyze and interpret American history.

Constructing the American Past
Volume II Sixth Edition
By Elliott J. Gorn, Randy Roberts, Terry D. Bilhartz
Challenge your students to become historians with the hands-on history of letters, articles, journalistic sources, photographs and posters.
Constructing the American Past achieves a level of inclusion and depth rarely found in other source books. Each chapter focuses on a particular problem or moment in American history, providing students with several different sources and points of view. An array of written sources, photographs, posters and maps asks students to analyze the visual sources of American history. By exposing students to these “conversations” of primary sources, the building blocks of history, Constructing the American Past fosters a solid foundation and invites its readers to analyze and interpret American events as historians do.

By exposing students to these “conversations” of primary sources, the building blocks of history, Constructing the American Past fosters a solid foundation and invites its readers to analyze and interpret American events as historians do.
New to the Sixth Edition
- NEW! Chapter 10 on World War II explores how Americans fought the “good war” for freedom, but how some Americans—specifically of Japanese, Mexican or African ancestry—found that the good war left a legacy of problems.
- NEW! Chapter 11 on the Cold War has been expanded to include poet Thomas McGrath’s statement to the House Un-American Activities Committee.
- NEW! Chapter 14 now includes Dennis Hayes’s inaugural Earth Day speech.
- More visual sources appear throughout the volume, including a diverse selection of poetry and newspaper advertisements.
- All of the “Additional Readings” sections have been updated to include the most recent scholarship.
Caracteristici
- Each chapter begins with a Historical Context that sets the stage for the primary sources included.
- Each document begins with a short Introduction that prepares and focuses the student on the appropriate ideas and themes in the reading.
- Each chapter concludes with three sets of questions that help the student synthesize the ideas of the chapter:
- Defining the Terms sections follow each chapter and provide key terms that cement the ideas and history the student has just encountered.
- Probing the Sources questions strengthen the student’s understanding of the primary sources. These questions offer an excellent bank for assignments or quizzes to assess retention.
- Interpreting the Sources sections provide open-ended questions and exciting activities. By becoming involved in the construction of history, students become active learners rather than passive observers.
- Each chapter includes a list of Additional Readings that extends the ideas of the chapter.
Caracteristici noi

- Chapters 11 and 14 have each been refreshed with a new reading.
- Chapter 10 on World War II explores how Americans fought the “good war” for freedom, but how some Americans–specifically of Japanese, Mexican or African ancestry–found that the good war left a legacy of problems.
