It offers:
•
Coverage of all core American Studies topics at introductory level
•
Essential historical background to America at the start of the twenty-
first century
•
Analysis of gender, class and race and America s cosmopolitan popu¬
lation
•
Useful and illuminating photographs, questions, terms for discussion
and suggestions for websites for further research.
American Civilization is a vital introduction to the crucial and complex
identities of America.
