Reviews

Daniel Scroop and Andrew Heath have gathered nine European and American scholars to question Rodgers's chronology and too-narrow focus solely on progressive politics. ... essays are thoroughly researched and carefully written ... . Transatlantic Social Politics, 1800-Present is an elegant collection of articles that captures the longue duree of the transat lantic exchanges from the early republic to the end of the twentieth century.
