Developed specifically for survey courses in United States history, In Liberating Strife: An American History Reader features scholarly yet accessible articles and book chapters on a variety of topics. The book is designed to encourage lively discussion and to encourage students to explore and analyze history in depth. Organized into three primary units that discuss political, economic, and social and cultural history and institutions, this inclusive text features diverse authors and voices. Students will read about the experiences and contributions of a radical female labor leader, a free black man in the 19th century south, and the Brown Berets who led the Chicano fight for U.S. Citizenship rights. They will explore topics such as gerrymandering, the participation of women in the American Revolution, and 20th century literacy laws. This outstanding supplemental reader gives professors and students a chance to step away from the typical chronological narrative structure of history courses, and view history as the interaction of issues, events, and individuals. In Liberating Strife is an ideal text for courses in American history, institutions, and civilization.
