Global America is a new and unique compact text which examines the history of the United States as it affected and continues to affect world history in the 20th and 21st centuries. Migration and immigration are useful conduits for examining the social and political history of states and their relationship to the world and Global America explores those connections seamlessly. This book uses connections between labor, politics, and society to explore U.S. History from the outside in, in a fresh and innovative style. The text begins with US imperial expansion in the late 19th Century and uses new perspectives to weave together topics such as social reform, the world wars and the rise of conservatism in a way which helps readers gain a new understanding of American leadership in recent years. Global America helps connect US History and World History through an innovative macro perspective in an era of globalization and changing societies.
