Riassunto

This innovative reader is the first to introduce students to cultural history through primary sources and guided pedagogy. Crosscurrents combines a diverse collection of sources with cutting-edge scholarship for a dramatic overview of politics, economics, and religion. The voices of women and people of color are integrated throughout, presenting a truly inclusive view of the American past.

Each source or source grouping is preceded by an introduction, which helps to contextualize the document(s). Throughout each chapter, Problems to Consider prompt students to think analytically about sources.

• A diverse collection of sources?including toasts, blueprints, testimonies, and screenplays?conveys the richness of American cultural history in both the public and private sectors.
• The chapters follow the chronology of a typical survey course, making it easy for instructors to incorporate the sources into their course materials.
