Outside In presents the newest scholarship that narrates and
explains the history of the United States as part of a networked
transnational past. This work tells the stories of Americans who
inhabited the border-crossing circuitry of people, ideas, and
institutions that have made the modern world a worldly place.
Forsaking manifestos of transnational history and surveys of
existing scholarship for fresh research, careful attention to
concrete situations and transactions, and original interpretation,
the vigorous, accomplished historians whose work is collected here
show how the transnational history of the United States is actually
being written. Ranging from high statecraft to political ferment
from below, from the history of religion to the discourse of
women's rights, from the political left to the political right,
from conservative businessmen to African diaspora radicals, this
set of original essays narrates U.S. history in new ways,
emphasizing the period from 1870 to the present. The essays in
Outside In demonstrate the inadequacy of any unidirectional concept
of "the U.S. and the world," although they stress the worldly
forces that have shaped Americans. At the same time, these essays
disrupt and complicate the very idea of simple inward and outward
flows of influence, showing how Americans lived within
transnational circuits featuring impacts and influences running in
multiple directions. Outside In also transcends the divide between
work focusing on the international system of nation-states and
transnational history that treats non-state actors exclusively. The
essays assembled here show how to write transnational history that
takes the nation-state seriously, explaining that governments and
non-state actors were never sealed off from one another in the
modern world. These essays point the way toward a more concrete and
fully internationalized vision of modern American history.
