Who Built America? explores fundamental conflicts in United States history by placing working peoples’ struggle for social and economic justice at center stage. Unique among U.S. history survey textbooks for its clear point of view, Who Built America is a joint effort of Bedford/St. Martin’s and the American Social History Project, based at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and renowned for its print, visual, and multimedia productions such as the "History Matters" Web site. With vivid prose, penetrating analysis, an acclaimed visual program, and rich documentary evidence, Who Built America? gives students a thought-provoking book they’ll want to read and instructors an irreplaceable anchor for their course.
"Who Built America is a textbook well-suited to a general survey course of U.S. history or a course on U.S. labor history. Unlike the typical survey textbook, WBA emphasizes the story of working people — the majority of Americans — taking into consideration gender, race, and class. It is a book of remarkable scope and diversity, with the narrative drive of a good novel."— Betty Mitchell, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth
