Becoming America, Volume I

Becoming America helps students recognize themselves, their interconnections, and our own time in the great sweep of history. Its contemporary narrative improves upon traditional history books - making clear the connections between the past and students' lives through a twenty-first century lens. The text is infused with recent scholarship that grapples with important historical concerns and refocuses on areas that are often underemphasized, framing our past in contemporary cultural and political concerns. Becoming America's student-centered learning environment empowers students to think in a historically informed way about the urgent questions of our times and to participate fully and creatively in America's diverse and vital democracy. For instructors, a rich and supportive teaching package does the heavy lifting so you can focus on exploring the questions and content you love.
