This is a condensed version of The American People, Seventh Edition (the comprehensive version). This engaging text examines U.S. history as revealed through the experiences of all Americans, both ordinary and extraordinary.

 

With a thought-provoking and rich presentation, the authors explore the complex lives of Americans of all national origins and cultural backgrounds, at all levels of society, and in all regions of the country. A vibrant four-color design and compact size make this book accessible, convenient, and easy-to read.

  • Its compact size, coupled with the authors' eloquent prose, make this text an attractive choice for students and instructors.
  • With an emphasis on social history provided by a well-known group of scholars, The American People, Brief Edition has long been regarded as the book that best presents the history of the common people.
  • The popular “Recovering the Past” feature provides students with the opportunity to review compelling evidence—from movies and popular music to diaries and political cartoons—that historians have used in reconstructing and interpreting the past. Each feature ends with thought-provoking questions.
  • The text's chapter openers—called “American Stories”—explore the experiences of ordinary Americans through personal stories that introduce the main themes and concepts of the specific chapter. A brief overview links the story to the text, and each chapter's Conclusion revisits the individual described in “American Stories.”
  • The international perspective helps students think across national boundaries and understand the way in which U.S. history intersects with the world.  

 

  • New authors Carla Pestana and Charlene Mires join the author team, bringing their expertise as scholars and teachers to Parts I and V of the text.
  •  “How Others See Us” are primary source documents, some of them written selections and others illustrations, that express the views of those outside the United States on some aspect of the American nation or its people. Questions following the “How Others See Us” selections allow students to see how sometimes “outsiders” may know us better than we know ourselves.

    More than any other text, The African-American Odyssey illuminates the central place of African Americans in U.S. history — not only telling the story of what it has meant to be black in America, but also how African-American history is inseparably weaved into the greater context of American history and vice versa.

     

    Told through a clear, direct, and flowing narrative by leading scholars in the field, The African-American Odyssey draws on recent research to present black history within broad social, cultural, and political frameworks.  From Africa to the Twenty-First Century, this book follows their long, turbulent journey, including the rich culture that African Americans have nurtured throughout their history and the many-faceted quest for freedom in which African Americans have sought to counter oppression and racism.  This text also recognizes the diversity within the African-American sphere — providing coverage of all class and of women and balancing the lives of ordinary men and women with the accounts and actions of black leaders and individuals.

    • The American Journey, a cornerstone series for the U.S. History market, successfully blends the coverage of political and social histories of our great nation throughout the series. With this focus, the authors show that our attempt to live up to our American ideals is an ongoing journey. This journey, while still a work in progress, is increasingly more inclusive of different groups and ideas.

     

    The path that led the authors to The American Journey began in the classroom with their students.  The goal of this text is to make American history accessible to students.  The key to that goal--the core of the book--is a strong, clear narrative and a positive theme of The American "Journey."  American history is a compelling story that the authors tell in an engaging, forthright way, while providing students with tools to help them absorb that story and put it into context.  This text combines political and social history, to fit the experience of particular groups into the broader perspective of the American past, to give voice to minor and major players alike, because the history of America is in the stories of its people.
