Description

"A series of brief paperbound readers on important themes or topics in American experience. Striving for both a clear, selective focus and an integrated overall-view, the series will provide variety, a considerable amount of detail, material of consistently high quality, reasonable depth, and rounded coverage. In each volume, the editor will bring together selections from what he considers the best, most persuasive literature on his subject or some landmarks in interpretation. These show more selections will be organized, not to revive ancient or sterile controversy, but to indicate how, in the editor's opinion, the topic should be interpreted. His own competence and experience in the field of history enables the editor to provide a sense of order, indicating how the interpretations have evolved, while maintaining a sense of their complexity."--Publisher. show less
