Beskrivning

In 1941 "Time" magazine publisher Henry Luce spoke of the 'American Century', anticipating that the values of the United States would spread around the world. "Twentieth-Century America" provides a comprehensive analysis of the changes and continuities in the US political system from 1900 to 2000, a period of unprecedented growth and power in US history, though one that was also punctuated by crises and division.

Recensioner i media

'Heale is diligent in exploring the development of race, class and gender, and also writes environmental issues into the mainstream of US history. The scope of this book necessitates a transition from historical territory into the recent past, but the treatment of the Clinton Administration is adroitly managed and will serve future students well.' Times Higher 'The book crams a massive amount of detail into very little space. It is thus less cumbersome than similar textbooks. I would recommend the adoption of this book as a core text for a survey course of twentieth-century America.' Journal of American Studies, 39
