Of the People: A History of the United States does more than tell
the history of America--of its people and places, of its dealings
and ideals. It unfolds the story of American democracy, carefully
marking how this country's evolution has been anything but certain,
from its complex beginnings to its modern challenges. The authors
see American history as a story of the people, of their struggles
to shape their lives and their land. Their narrative focuses on the
social and political lives of people--some famous, some
ordinary--revealing the compelling story of America's democracy
from an individual perspective, from across the landscapes of
diverse communities, and ultimately from within the larger context
of the world. The theme of democracy concentrates attention on the
most fundamental concerns of history: people and power. These
concerns have been especially relevant as the authors completed
revising the book for this new edition. The tumultuous presidential
campaign of 2020, one of the most divisive in American history,
took place in the midst of a deadly pandemic and culminated in the
extraordinary storming of the federal Capitol building in
Washington, D.C. in January 2021. Recent history is always a
challenge and always subject to revision, but the authors have
wanted to show how contemporary struggles over democracy are rooted
in the past. Their balanced, inclusive approach makes it more
possible for teachers and students to deal with the most
controversial events.
