Global Americans, Volume 2, 1st Edition eBook

In GLOBAL AMERICANS the authors present a comprehensive American history that illustrates how the creation and history of the United States has always been subject to transnational forces and affected by global events and conditions. This global perspective is central to the text, recovering international influences and stories of America’s past that are often overlooked in other narratives. Weaving together a variety of social, political, cultural, economic, and geographic dynamics across time, as well as the stories of individuals who embodied the global American spirit, the authors have crafted a new United States history for today’s diverse and interconnected students. Using print and digital content, GLOBAL AMERICANS pushes students to think critically about primary sources, images, and other media as they learn about the long history of global events which have shaped, and been shaped by, the present day United States. GLOBAL AMERICANS makes U.S. history more relevant and engaging to today’s student.
