Quatrième de couverture

In Our Times: America Since World War II, Seventh Edition, is a revised and updated version of this widely used book, which has been popular in both survey courses in U.S. history and in more specialized courses.

• Significant expansion of material on the 1980s and 1990s, including the "conservative turn," the emergence of "new Democrats," the economic boom of the 1990s, and the new place of immigration in American life.
• New and more numerous pictures, charts, and maps
• Updated bibliographies
• Enhanced attention to mass culture, already one of the most popular features of the book

Présentation de l'éditeur

For courses in U.S. or American History Since 1945.

More concise, livelier, and broader in coverage than other similar texts, this popular overview of American life since 1945 offers a clearly-written, authoritative interpretive narrative that pays special attention to major trends in foreign policy, mass culture, social history, gender, politics, civil rights, economics, and political culture. Organized both chronologically and topically, it provides balanced insights and demonstrates the ways in which different kinds of history blend together, and also provides a broad view of “politics.”
