The United States in the Long Twentieth Century explores the nature
of American politics and society in the period from 1900 to the
present day, illuminating both the changes and the continuities.
This was a period largely characterized by exceptional growth and
international power, though one also assailed by the crises and
divisions that Michael Heale carefully examines. A strength of the
book is its integration of political with social history, and it
thus explores a range of social, demographic and economic phenomena
that have been central to American history in the long twentieth
century, such as immigration and ethnicity, the labour, civil
rights and environmental movements, and the role and achievements
of women. This new and fully revised edition of the seminal student
textbook Twentieth-Century America has been updated throughout to
take recent scholarship in the field into account and also includes
a number of important new features, including: - a brand new
chapter on the years from 2000 onwards, covering 9/11, the
financial crisis, and the rise of Barack Obama; - substantial
revisions to Part III, covering 1969 to the present day, and in
particular to the material on Reagan, Clinton, African Americans,
immigrants, the growth of the financial sector and (de)regulation
and global warming; one theme is the limits of conservatism and the
resilience of liberalism; - greater emphasis on the United States
in a transnational world and within the context of the rise of
globalization. The United States in the Long Twentieth Century is a
detailed guide to American political and social history since 1900
and an essential text for all students interested in the modern
history of the United States of America.
