Kelley, Rob Kroes Karen Ordahl Kupperman, Ron Robin, Daniel T. Rodgers, Ian Tyrrell, Francois Weil, Robert Wiebe, and Marilyn B. Young. In rethinking and reframing the American national narrative in a wider context, the contributors to this volume ask questions about both nationalism and the discipline of history itself. The essays offer fresh ways of thinking about the traditional themes and periods of American history. By locating the study of American history in a transnational context, they examine the history of nation-making and the relation of the United States to other nations and to transnational developments. What is now called globalization is here placed in a historical context.
