Beyond the Nation: Pushing the Boundaries of U.S. History from a Transatlantic Perspective

This book presents the results of a research project conducted by Italian Americanist historians in cooperation with other European scholars specializing in U.S. history. The essays collected examine crucial moments and issues of national U.S. history and identity in the 20th century by extending their scope to an international and transnational arena. They also touch upon a vast array of subjects related to American history including women's studies, migration, race, popular culture, the welfare state, and intellectual history.
