American Vistas: Volume 2: 1877 to the Present cover

Excellent supplement for understanding American history. Offering up-to-date coverage of America's social, political, and diplomatic past, this anthology of articles by nationally renowned scholars introduces students to the excitement of American history. With seven new selections, the seventh edition has been substantially revised to examine such topics as law and order in the American West, the role of women in armed forces, American antisemitism, and the rise of suburban culture centred around the mall.

"An excellent survey of the post-Reconstruction history of America. A valuable supplement for U.S. history classes."--William Tannenbaum, Missouri Southern State College "Balanced readable selections that offer a variety of points of view."--Howard Meredith, University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma "Well produced, nicely edited, excellent--even brilliant--choices of topics."--Robert Sellen, Georgia State University "These are fun anthologies. I have enjoyed browsing through them....The editors are living up to their abilities of putting together a collection of articles both interesting and readable."--Daniel Murphy, Hanover College
