A People & A Nation: A History of the United States

The Brief Edition of a People & Nation offers a succinct and spirited narrative that tells the stories of all people in the United States. The authors' attention to race and racial identity and their inclusion of everyday people and popular culture brings history to life, encouraging you to imagine what life was really like in the past. New features include "Visualizing the Past," using images as primary sources to explore major themes; the popular "Links to the World" essays (one essay in every chapter), connecting U.S. history to the history of the greater world; and a newly redesigned map program. The Brief Edition of A PEOPLE & A NATION also includes thoughtful new student-friendly pedagogy with an expanded chapter opening outline; focus questions that highlight the chapter's main themes; marginal questions that are answered at the end of the chapter in the Chapter Summary; and marginal key terms and definitions.
