Outstanding interpretive essays trace the historiographical developments in a particular area and bring them up to the present. Each essay examines the evolution of historical scholarship on key moments such as the American Revolution, Jacksonian Democracy, the New Deal, the Civil Rights Movement, and the New Right. Well-chosen pairs of readings by distinguished historians such as Eric Foner, Kathryn Kish Sklar, and John D’Emilio offer contrasting interpretations of historical phenomenon. More than half of the readings have been replaced in the eighth edition to expose students to both classic and cutting edge approaches to enduring topics. New scholarly work in growing areas such as gender and whiteness studies is incorporated throughout both volumes. Each interpretive essay has been thoroughly revised to reflect the most recent scholarship. New international perspective emphasizes historians’ interest in placing the United States within a global context.
