Name: America
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)
Author: George Brown Tindall

Used by over one million students, America: A Narrative History is one of the most successful American history textbooks ever published. Offering a comprehensive introduction to the history of the United States, this work provides wide coverage of social and cultural history. The authors look at how colonial taverns not only served as places to socialize but also became hotbeds for political action before the American Revolution; they explore how the rise of baseball served to equalize whites of different classes but exacerbated racial tension through segregated leagues; and they explore the rise of rock and roll and the "youth culture" of the 1950s as a reaction to the conservative culture.

First publish date: 1984
