Many Voices, One Nation explores U.S. history through a powerful
collection of artifacts and stories from America's many peoples.
Sixteen essays, composed by Smithsonian curators and affiliated
scholars, offer distinctive insight into the peopling of the United
States from the Europeans' North American arrival in 1492 to the
near present. Each chapter addresses a different historical era and
considers what quintessentially American ideals like freedom,
equality, and belonging have meant to Americans of all backgrounds,
races, and national origins through the centuries. Much more than
just an anthology, this book is a vibrant, cohesive presentation of
everyday objects and ideas that connect us to our history and to
one another. Using these objects and personal stories as a
transmitter, the book invites readers to hear the voices of our
many voices, and contemplate the complexity of our one nation. The
stories and artifacts included in this volume bring our seemingly
disparate pasts together to inspire possibilities for a shared
future as we constantly reinterpret our e pluribus unum - our
nation of many voices.
