Description
Book SynopsisFocussing on a survey of US history from its beginnings, this book reveals our past through the lens of Asian American and Pacific Islander history.
Trade Review"...American History Unbound offers extremely important approaches to rethinking the history of the United States, and takes its place in the recent trend of a globally aligned (US) historiography that questions the construct of, and attempts to break the concept of the 'American Nation.'" -- Robert Kramm-Masaoka H-Net Reviews
