Designed to encourage critical thinking about history; this reader uses a carefully selected group of primary sources and analytical essays to allow students to test the interpretations of distinguished historians and draw their own conclusions about the history of American foreign policy. This text serves as an effective educational tool for courses on U.S. foreign policy; recent U.S. history; or 20th Century U.S. history. Some of the new literature spotlights cultural relations; and the ways in which culturally constructed attitudes about class; gender; race; and national identity have shaped American's perceptions of the world and subsequently its overseas relationships.

Fascinating journeyBy redwindThis was a fascinating journey through time and space; a series of stories about the discovery of; and meaning of; seven ancient hominid skeletons. Somehow Lydia Pyne manages to weave together a narrative of discovery and meaning that explains both our origins; or the best theories of our origins at the present time; and how our perceptions and views rooted in our culture bring us to conclusions about those origins.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
