The area between two countries, or at the edges of a civilization, has been called many things--frontier, backcountry, and most recently, the borderland. Even though borderlands are frequently located at the peripheries of empires and nations, they nevertheless shape how centers of national power-cities, national capitols, and so forth-have defined their relation to issues such as territorial expansion, sovereignty, immigration, labor, community formation, difference, and race and ethnicity. And in this global landscape, the borderlands area can teach a lot about how societies interact and how nations came to be as they are. North American Borderlands introduces students to exemplary recent scholarship on borderlands, focusing on borderland relationships--transnational or trans-cultural explorations of the many peoples and perspectives within borderlands regions.

Connect students to the "stories" of history. Connect students to
the "experience" of history. Connect students to "success" in
history. At McGraw-Hill, we have spent the past few years deepening our
understanding of the student and instructor experience. Employing a
wide array of research tools including surveys, focus groups, and
ethnographic studies, we've identified areas in need of improvement
to provide an opportunity for greater learning and teaching
experiences. "Experience History" is a direct result of this. "Experience History" is also a first in American History. Its
groundbreaking adaptive diagnostic and interactive exercises paired
with its lively narrative and engaging visuals create a unique
teaching and learning environment propelling greater student
success and better course results. Instructors gain better insight
into students' engagement and understanding as students develop a
base of knowledge and construct critical thinking skills. Gripping
stories keep students turning the page while the adaptive
diagnostics for each chapter and a personalized study plan for each
individual student help students prepare for class discussions and
course work while enjoying increased course success. "Experience History" emphasizes that history is not just a
collection of proven facts, but is "created" from the detective
work of historians examining evidence from the past. Providing the
interactive environment that only an integrated solution can
provide, "Experience History" gives students the opportunity to
examine primary sources and explore specific periods and events.
This leads to greater understanding as well as the building and
practicing of critical thinking skills. As students uniquely
experience American History, "Experience History" propels students
to greater understanding while achieving greater course
success. Give students an experience. Improve course participation and performance. "Experience History," and experience success.
Connect to the "stories" of history. Connect to the "experience" of
history. Connect to "success" in history.
Connect students to the "stories" of history. Connect students to
the "experience" of history. Connect students to "success" in
history.
Connect students to the "stories" of history. Connect students to
the "experience" of history. Connect students to "success" in
history.
