Reviews

Global America is clearly written and it takes the standard narrative of U.S. history in a direction both unfamiliar and vital to students in the early twenty-first century. Many textbooks promise to take a particular focus (i.e., race and gender, citizenship, etc.) but almost never succeed in aligning the narrative with the theme. This one does. --Nancy Beck Young, University of Houston Global America is extremely accessible, well written, sensibly organized, and relatively concise. It makes an invaluable contribution in that there are very few, if any, comparable and current texts that approach the subject of twentieth-century U.S. history from a global perspective. --Sean P. Cunningham, Texas Tech University The insights gained from Global America will prepare students to think broadly about American identity and the complexity of a national history on a much larger and ever-present global stage. --Richard Hughes, Illinois State University
