Histories of Virginia have traditionally traced the same
significant but narrow lines, overlooking whole swathes of human
experience crucial to an understanding of the commonwealth. With
Virginians and Their Histories, Brent Tarter presents a fresh, new
interpretive narrative that incorporates the experiences of all
residents of Virginia from the earliest times to the first decades
of the twenty-first century, affording readers the most
comprehensive and wide-ranging account of Virginia's story. Tarter
draws on primary resources for every decade of the Old Dominion's
English-language history, as well as a wealth of recent scholarship
that illuminates in new ways how demographic changes, economic
growth, social and cultural changes, and religious sensibilities
and gender relationships have affected the manner in which
Virginians have lived. Virginians and Their Histories interweaves
the experiences of Virginians of different racial and ethnic
backgrounds and classes, representing a variety of eras and
regions, to understand what they separately and jointly created,
and how they responded to economic, political, and social changes
on a national and even global level. That large context is
essential for properly understanding the influences of Virginians
on, and the responses of Virginians to, the constantly changing
world in which they have lived. This groundbreaking work of
scholarship-generously illustrated and engagingly written-will
become the definitive account for general readers and all students
of Virginia's diverse and vibrant history.
