Becoming America, Volume II: From Reconstruction

Becoming America helps students recognize themselves, their interconnections, and our own time in the great sweep of history. Its contemporary narrative improves upon traditional history books-making clear the connections between the past and students' lives through a twenty-first century lens. Infused throughout, recent scholarship grapples with important historical concerns and refocuses on areas often underemphasized framing our past in contemporary cultural and political concerns. Its student-centered learning environment empowers students to think in a historically informed way about the urgent questions of our times and to participate fully and creatively in America's diverse and vital democracy. For instructors, a fully supportive teaching package does the heavy lifting so you can focus on what you love.
