This is a definitive account of one of the most dominant trends in
recent historical writing. "The Cultural Turn in U.S. History"
takes stock of the field at the same time as it showcases exemplars
of its practice.The first of this volume's three distinct sections
offers a comprehensive genealogy of American cultural history,
tracing its multifaceted origins, defining debates, and
intersections with adjacent fields. The second section comprises
previously unpublished essays by a distinguished roster of
contributors who illuminate the discipline's rich potential by
plumbing topics that range from nineteenth-century anxieties about
greenback dollars to confidence games in 1920s Harlem, from Shirley
Temple's career to the story of a Chicano community in San Diego
that created a public park under a local freeway.Featuring an
equally wide-ranging selection of pieces that meditate on the
future of the field, the final section explores such subjects as
the different strains of cultural history, its relationships with
arenas from mass entertainment to public policy, and the ways it
has been shaped by catastrophe. Taken together, these essays
represent a watershed moment in the life of a discipline,
harnessing its vitality to offer a glimpse of the shape it will
take in years to come.
