Inhaltsangabe

Now in a new edition from Bedford/St. Martin’s, Interpretations of American History offers an essential collection of essays and readings on American historiography. Each chapter opens with an extended essay that explores the historiography specific to that chapter’s topic, followed by two readings by preeminent historians that highlight different — although not always diametrically opposed — historical approaches. Fully updated for the next generation of scholars, the most respected historiographical reader now comes with all the care and quality that you expect from Bedford/St. Martin’s.
