A best-selling narrative history enters a new generation

The reader features 250 primary source documents, both textual and visual, drawn from a vast range of government documents, newspapers, speeches, letters, novels, and images. Twenty-five updated selections offer strengthened coverage of African American history and reflect the latest structure of America: A Narrative History, Ninth Edition.

This work is the second of a two-volume set that presents a chronological, narrative history of America, with a blend of political, social, cultural and economic history. The fourth edition devotes more attention to the theme of the frontier in American history.

Dějiny předkolumbovských civilizací tvoří stručný úvod k vlastním politickým, hospodářským a kulturním dějinám země od 17. stol. do současnosti. Značná pozornost je věnována i významným osobnostem amerických dějin. Za dominující trend amerických dějin považují autoří demokratické směřování země, které v průběhu historie působí jako prvek sjednocující pestrou mozaiku etnik a kultur.

Offering a comprehensive introduction to the history of the United States, this work provides wide coverage of social and cultural history. The authors look at how colonial taverns not only served as places to socialize but also became hotbeds for political action before the American Revolution; they explore how the rise of baseball served to equalize whites of different classes but exacerbated racial tension through segregated leagues; and they explore the rise of rock and roll and the youth culture of the 1950s as a reaction to the conservative culture.
