- Series Description
American Intellectual History: A Very Short Introduction provides an introduction to American thought. It considers how notions about freedom and belonging, the market and morality have commanded generations of Americans and been the cause of fierce debate. Before the United States was a nation, it was a set of ideas, projected onto the New World by European explorers with centuries of belief and thought in tow. America and American thought grew from this foundation of expectation and experience, enriched by the Enlightenment, liberty and individuality, religion, and republicanism and democracy. The VSI shows how ideas have been major forces that drove movements in American history, such as transcendentalism and postmodernism--
Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible.
Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume in this series provides trenchant and provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how the subject has developed and how it has influenced society. Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all students an accessible and abundant reference library.
Whatever the area of study that one deems important or appealing, whatever the topic that fascinates the general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.
