Product Description
The American Pageant continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the most popular and effective textbooks in the field of American history. The text's colorful anecdotes, first-person quotations, and trademark wit bring American history to life. Revisions have been guided by the inclusion of the histories of previously overlooked individuals or groups, as well as the belief that the main drama of American history resides in the public arena, where these and other peoples have both cooperated and contended with one another.
The Thirteenth Edition places greater emphasis on the global context for American history and provides expanded coverage of cultural innovation and intellectual ideas. Additionally, the new edition retains the pedagogical features that make The American Pageant accessible for students: part openers and chapter-ending chronologies provide a context for the major periods in American history, while other features present primary sources, scholarly debates, and key historical figures for analysis.- More attention has been given to the experiences and contributions of women, law, and the national economy in the antebellum period; the rise of colleges and universities; American involvement in Asia; and specific events such as the Seven Year's War, the election of 1800, the Compromise of 1850, the Spanish-American War, and the Cold War.
- The authors have added more "Examining the Evidence" features, which present photographs, artifacts, or brief documents, and demonstrate how historians analyze such evidence.
- "Makers of America" essays focus on the diverse ethnic, racial, and activist groups that compose America's pluralistic society.
- Blackboard/WebCT course cartridges offer text-specific content to help instructors save time creating assignments and exams. Customizable online homework features essay and multiple-choice questions based on chapter concepts.
About The Author
David M. Kennedy received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1968 and is currently Donald J. McLachlan Professor of History and American Studies at Stanford University. His first book, Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret Sanger, was honored with both the Bancroft Prize and the John Gilmary Shea Prize. He has won numerous teaching awards at Stanford and sits on its bookstore committee as well. He recently published a volume in the Oxford series of American history entitled Freedom From Fear: The United States, 1929–1945, which won the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for History.
Lizabeth Cohen received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in1986 and is currently a professor of history at Harvard University. She previously taught at New York University and the University of California, Berkeley. She is the author of many articles and essays and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for her first book, Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago, 1919–1939, which later won the Bancroft Prize. She has just completed a book, Consumption in Postwar America, on the political consequences of a mass-consumption-oriented economy and culture in post-World War II America.
Thomas A. Bailey (1903-1983) taught history at his alma mater, Stanford University, for nearly forty years. Long regarded as one of the nation's premier historians of American diplomacy, he was honored by his colleagues in 1968 with election to the presidencies of both the Organization of American Historians and the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. He was the author, editor, or co-editor of some twenty-books, but the work in which he took the most pride was The American Pageant through which, he liked to say, he had taught American history to several million students.
