Long regarded as the book that best represents the history of the common people, this well-rounded portrait of American history goes beyond the simple facts to explore the complex social implications of history in all aspects of American life.

Caracteristici

  • Its compact size, coupled with the authors' eloquent prose, make this text an attractive choice for students and instructors.
  • With an emphasis on social history provided by a well-known group of scholars, The American People, Brief Edition has long been regarded as the book that best presents the history of the common people.
  • The popular “Recovering the Past” feature provides students with the opportunity to review compelling evidence—from movies and popular music to diaries and political cartoons—that historians have used in reconstructing and interpreting the past. Each feature ends with thought-provoking questions.
  • The text's chapter openers—called “American Stories”—explore the experiences of ordinary Americans through personal stories that introduce the main themes and concepts of the specific chapter. A brief overview links the story to the text, and each chapter's Conclusion revisits the individual described in “American Stories.”
  • The international perspective helps students think across national boundaries and understand the way in which U.S. history intersects with the world.  

Caracteristici noi

  • New authors Carla Pestana and Charlene Mires join the author team, bringing their expertise as scholars and teachers to Part I of the text.
  •  “How Others See Us” are primary source documents, some of them written selections and others illustrations, that express the views of those outside the United States on some aspect of the American nation or its people. Questions following the “How Others See Us” selections allow students to see how sometimes “outsiders” may know us better than we know ourselves.
