Global Americans: A History of the United States

In Montoya/Belmonte/Guarneri/Hackel/Hartigan-O'Connor/Kurashige's GLOBAL AMERICANS: A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, 2nd EDITION, the authors present a comprehensive American history that illustrates how the creation and history of the United States has always been subject to transnational forces and affected by global events and conditions. This global perspective is central to the text, recovering international influences and stories of America’s past that are often overlooked in other narratives. Weaving together a variety of social, political, cultural, economic and geographic dynamics across time, as well as the stories of individuals who embodied the global American spirit, the authors have crafted a new United States history for today’s diverse and interconnected students. Using print and digital content, this edition pushes students to think critically as they learn about the long history of global events which have shaped, and been shaped by, the present-day United States.
