America
has long been viewed
-
and viewed itself
-
as a land of innovation and
opportunity, a place where dreams can be realized through freedom, democracy, and
merit. Despite the hopeful optimism, America s self-perception has been challenged
in recent years by an increasingly polarized society, a flagging economy, and fears
about its place in a changing global order.
The new edition of Contemporary America has been comprehensively revised and
updated to give a vivid account of America today, with a depth of analysis and
historical context that helps make sense of the nation s evolution through time.
Drawing deeply on a range of original sources
-
from government records and
academic journals to memoirs and popular accounts
-
the book introduces the
society, politics, economy, culture, and world role of the United States. The authors
focus particularly on the change agenda that has marked Obama s presidency and
take account of developments such as the search for a new global order and the
rise of China, the fallout from the Great Recession of
2008,
and the tumultuous and
partisan policy debates characteristic of America s diverse citizenry.
Illustrated throughout with relevant photographs, maps, charts, and tables,
Contemporary America covers everything from rock music to national parks and from
media corporations to social security. This is an ideal starting point in American
studies for students and general readers alike.
