Excerpting American History from 1877 to 2025: Primary Sources and Commentary provides students with a collection of government documents, newspaper accounts, letters, diaries, speeches, and more to offer an immersive exploration of the United States from the dawn of the Gilded Age to the harrowing events of September 11, 2001 and beyond.
This volume, the second in a two-book series, analyzes American history from 1877 to 2025. Each chapter features an introductory essay by the author to provide readers with critical context, excerpts from primary documents, and questions to stimulate reflection.
Readers learn about the industry, invention, and economic growth that boomed during the Gilded Age, but which also excluded many Americans, including new immigrants, farmers, African Americans, and women. Select primary sources share perspectives on the Great War, the Second World War, the Jazz Age, the Harlem Renaissance, the Great Depression, the economic challenges of the 1970s, and more.
Excerpting American History from 1877 to 2025 is an exemplary text for courses in American history. Students can rewind their exploration of American history in the first volume in the series, which chronicles 1492 to 1877.
The second edition includes a new introduction and entirely new chapter covering events from 2002-2025.
