American Chronicle: An Inclusive History explores the manner in which the United States evolved from the arrival of the first Europeans, 471 years prior to Columbus, to the rise of Big Business in the Gilded Age. Along with the major themes of the American experience, this expansive study provides long-neglected components of America’s development, including the role language, music, contagious disease, and fashion played in molding the nation.
In addition, American Chronicle delves into the previously scorned people who comprised a large part of American history. These five groups are the native nations and tribes, African Americans, Chicanos, American Jews, Asian Americans, and the LBGTQ+ community, and they are given their proper recognition and acknowledgement. Moreover, their bypassed, disregarded, and frequently denigrated contributions are illuminated.
‘American Chronicle’ is well researched, fully documented, and ‘warts and all’ account and that does not falter from highlighting the harsher periods of the United States’ past.
