Description

Who Built America? surveys the nation's past from the perspective of working men and women. Growing out of the effort to reinterpret American history from the bottom up, Who Built America? not only documents the country's presidents, politics, and wars along with the life and values of the nation's elite but also focuses on the fundamental social and economic conflicts in our history, integrating the history of community, family, gender roles, race, and ethnicity.
