The contributors to this landmark collection set the attacks on the
United States in historical perspective. They reject the simplistic
notion of an age-old "clash of civilizations" and instead examine
the particular histories of American nationalism, anti-Americanism,
U.S. foreign policy, and Islamic fundamentalism among other topics.
With renewed attention to Americans' sense of national identity,
they focus on the United States in relation to the rest of the
world. A collection of recent and historical documents--speeches,
articles, and book excerpts--supplement the essays. Taken together,
the essays and sources in this volume comment on the dangers of
seeing the events of September 11 as splitting the nation's history
into "before" and "after." They argue eloquently that no useful
understanding of the present is possible without an unobstructed
view of the past. Author note: Joanne Meyerowitz is Professor of
History at Indiana University and editor of The Journal of American
History.
