Over 300 historians joined together to create the book they wanted for their own students-an accessible, synthetic narrative that reflects the best of recent historical scholarship and provides a jumping-off point for discussions in the U.S. history classroom and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLong before Whitman and long after, Americans have sung something collectively amid the deafening roar of their many individual voices. The \u003ci\u003eYawp\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the dynamism and conflict inherent in the history of the United States, while also looking for the common threads that help us make sense of the past. Without losing sight of politics and power, \u003ci\u003eThe American Yawp\u003c\/i\u003e incorporates transnational perspectives, integrates diverse voices, recovers narratives of resistance, and explores the complex process of cultural creation. It looks for America in crowded slave cabins, bustling markets, congested tenements, and marbled halls. It navigates between maternity wards, prisons, streets, bars, and boardrooms. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe fully peer-reviewed edition of \u003ci\u003eThe American Yawp\u003c\/i\u003e will be available in two print volumes designed for the U.S. history survey. Volume II opens in the Gilded Age, before moving through the twentieth century as the country reckoned with economic crises, world wars, and social, cultural, and political upheaval at home. Bringing the narrative up to the present, \u003ci\u003eThe American Yawp\u003c\/i\u003e enables students to ask their own questions about how the past informs the problems and opportunities we confront today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoseph L.
