Global Americans: A History of the United States, Volume 2

America's national experience and collective history have always been subject to transnational forces and affected by global events and conditions. In recognition of this reality, Montoya/Belmonte/Guarneri/Hackel/Hartigan-O'Connor/Kurashige's GLOBAL AMERICANS: A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, 2nd EDITION, presents a history of North America and then the United States in which world events and processes are central rather than colorful sidelights. In doing so, the text reflects the diverse experiences of you, the students, and your families. You'll be immersed in an accessible and inclusive American history in which a variety of social, cultural, economic and geographic dynamics play key roles. The authors want you to see yourselves in the narrative, primary source documents, images and other media they have assembled. The text reveals the long history of global events that have shaped, and been shaped by, the peoples who have come to constitute the United States.
