The Social Fabric: American Life from 1607 to 1877

by John H.; Weinberg Cary

This reader acquaints students with the aspects of ordinary Americans by showing how the "big" and "important" events of the nation were reflected in the everyday lives of ordinary people. These readings highlight the diversity of Americans' experiences - based on differences in race, ethnicity, and gender - and the way in which those differences have at times led to conflict. Articles new to this edition reflect the latest scholarship on gender, Native Americans, and Hispanic Americans.
