- New co-author, Barbara Molony, an Asian scholar from Santa Clara University and director of Santa Clara’s Program for the Study of Women and Gender, contributes to the fine Asian coverage in the text.
- A new chapter on Latin America, 1825 -1945 (Ch. 25), examines Latin American states after independence, as well as twentieth-century Latin America, and the region’s relationship with the United States.

Brief Description
American People, The: Creating a Nation and a Socie
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.
This edition features all of the strengths found in the successful comprehensive text: a compelling narrative, clear organization, and exceptional pedagogy. An attractive four-color design -featuring numerous maps, photos, and timelines engage and assist students in their study of American history.
In the new 7th edition of America Past and Present, Brief Edition the authors have streamlined the coverage in the contemporary chapters and added a new feature that explores the connections between the past and the present.
