This brief history of America will span the earliest migrations to the present reflecting Paul S Boyer's interests in social intellectual & cultural history including popular culture & religion It will reflect his personal view of American history in which a sense of paradox & irony loom large While noting positive achievements-political economic social & cultural-he will also discuss the United States's failures to live up to its oft-stated ideals; although America has figured in the world's imagination (and its own self-image) as a land of opportunity offering liberty & justice for all the reality has often fallen short For example the establishment of the North American colonies had very different meanings for colonists from the British Isles & Europe for Native peoples & for enslaved Africans brought against their will The late nineteenth century saw not only impressive industrial expansion & the creation of vast fortunes but also appalling conditions in urban-immigrant slums & a degraded exploited labor force The twentieth-century emergence of a suburban society of consumer abundance meant a better life for many & laid the groundwork for impressive cultural creativity yet left behind crime-ridden inner cities & spawned a stultifying mass culture The immigrants who have renewed & revitalized the nation have also stirred hostility & resentment While American popular culture has demonstrated global appeal the projection of US military power abroad from the Philippines early in the twentieth century to Iraq early in the twenty-first has sometimes failed in its purpose & damaged the nation's international standing Although this book will not be a muckraking expose or anachronistic moral tract neither will it be a celebratory panegyric or a bland recital of facts ABOUT THE SERIES The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable ...
