Features

New to the seventh edition: The seventh edition has thirty-three new readings. As with the previous edition, the text remains a combination of social science and the humanities, drawing on the strengths of a multidisciplinary approach that ideally will add to the flexibility of the collection’s use and provide broader exposure to knowledge as we grapple with these most basic questions in our society. Other new readings focus upon divisions in our understanding of U.S. history and the consequences.
