Inhaltsangabe
This book offers the most up-to-date interpretations of the entire range of historical experiences in the 19th Century United States. Twenty-five scholars, each a specialist in his own thematic area, show how and why our understanding of 19th Century America is changing. Their essays advance as well as summarize current historical thinking. Coverage includes not only traditional areas in political, economic, and diplomatic history but also newer fields concerned with the social construction of race, gender, and cultural identities. Divided into six sections - Politics and Public Life, Foreign Relations, Race and Ethnicity, The Economy and Class Formations, Regional Perspectives, and Cultures and Ideas --the book's organization provides readers with ready access to essays of particular interest. Each of the essays synthesizes current research in its thematic area, discusses how historical concerns have developed over time, and assesses the future direction of scholarship. The volume stands alone in providing an historiographical overview of 19th Century America that is both complete in its coverage and cutting edge in its interpretations. It fills a real need on the part of graduate students, upper-level undergraduates, general readers of American history, and teachers of U.S. history abroad for a one-volume reference work that brings together past and current scholarship for the 19th Century U.S. as a whole. Bibliographies of up to 20 entries accompany each essay and serve as a convenient reference for additional readings, especially for faculty and students in foreign countries. A short introduction provides an overview of the volume, and all of the essays are accessible to non-specialists.
