Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

Forging America speaks to both the complexities of historical experience and the meanings of the past for our present-day lives. Warning against the assumption of pre-ordained outcomes, Pulitzer-Prize winning historian Steve Hahn focuses the reader's attention on those moments when historical change occurs. He weaves a history that is continental and transnational, a history of the many peoples whose experiences and aspirations-oftentimes involving struggle and conflict-went into the forging of a nation.
