Kamensky/Bailey/Sheriff/Chudacoff/Logevall/Blight's A PEOPLE AND A NATION, VOLUME I: to 1877, 12th Edition, offers a lively narrative that tells the stories of the diverse peoples in the United States and challenges students to think about the meaning of democracy and equality in the nation’s past. The authors are prize-winning historians and experienced teachers who know how to explain historical change -- whether in public policy and economics, family life, the significance of race, gender and class, popular culture or international relations and warfare -- in ways that students understand. As the first textbook to pay close attention to U.S. social history, it also supports more specialized lectures through its attention to international history and the place of the U.S. in the world, politics and policy, social movements and economic issues.
