Perspectives on Modern America - Making Sense of the Twentieth Century (Paperback, New edition)

In MAKING SENSE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, Harvard Sitkoff brings together some of America's most distinguished scholars to survey and analyze what many have called "The American Century." Each person on the impressive list of contributors - whcih includes such names as William Leuchtenberg, Paul Boyer, Lizabeth Cohen, and Charles Payne - has written a broad interpretive essay on a key aspect of American life and how it has changed over the past one-hundred years. The essays address a wide range of political, social, and economic issues including the history of liberalism and conservativism; the labor movement and the distribution of wealth; immigration and ethnicity; the status of women and African Americans; consumer culture; the federal government; foreign policy; religion, and American cultural and intellectual life. Perfect for students and general readers alike.
