The field of American history has undergone remarkable expansion in
the past century, all of it reflecting a broadening of the
historical enterprise and democratization of its coverage. Today,
the shape of the field takes into account the interests,
identities, and narratives of more Americans than at any time in
its past. Much of this change can be seen through the history of
the Organization of American Historians, which, as its mission
states, "promotes excellence in the scholarship, teaching, and
presentation of American history, and encourages wide discussion of
historical questions and equitable treatment of all practitioners
of history."
This century-long history of the Organization of American
Historians-and its predecessor, the Mississippi Valley Historical
Association-explores the thinking and writing by professional
historians on the history of the United States. It looks at the
organization itself, its founding and dynamic growth, the changing
composition of its membership and leadership, the emphasis over the
years on teaching and public history, and pedagogical approaches
and critical interpretations as played out in association
publications, annual conferences, and advocacy efforts. The
majority of the book emphasizes the writing of the American story
by offering a panorama of the fields of history and their
development, moving from long-established ones such as political
history and diplomatic history to more recent ones, including
environmental history and the history of sexuality
