Summary
    In presenting students with diverse issues and interests, the selections in Problems in U.S. History help readers think critically about the social, political, and cultural issues that have shaped America. The readings provide students exposure to the unique perspectives of various historians and the challenges of an evolving country.

    The anthology explores the place of food in historic events, a history of the Puritans, Native Americans and historical consciousness in the 19th century, industrial capitalism, changes in the labor force in recent times, and more. Each reading is framed by an introduction, which places it in context and prepares students for effective reading, and post-reading questions that encourage students to explore and analyze ideas and information.

    The second edition features new readings on American Reconstruction and the 19th century roots of the Stone-Campbell Movement.

    Problems in U.S. History helps students understand that history is more than a sequence of events, composed of the challenges people experience, the values they hold, and the changes in culture that occur with the evolution of a specific place. It is an ideal textbook for foundational courses in U.S. history.

    Jim Cook holds a Ph.D. in history from Texas Tech University. His areas of specialty include American religious movements, the role of religion in American culture, and the impact of memory and nostalgia on political and religious expression. Dr. Cook has taught American and world history survey courses at Fresno City College, Merced College, and the California State University, Stanislaus, where he also serves as a faculty mentor and teaches courses in contemporary United States history, colonial North America, history from the Reconstruction era to World War II, and problems in United States history.
