Böcker av Edward Pessen

The first book to sum up the consequences of the cold war for Americans.

Until publication of Riches, Classes, and Power, Alexis de Tocquerville's vision of the United States as a generally egalitarian nation predominated

?(Pessen) rightly recognizes the need to comprehend the era's economic, social, and humanitarian developments. This is a good collection that should stimulate student interest in a fascinating era.?-Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography

A perennial choice for courses on antebellum America, Jacksonian America continues to be a popular classroom text with scholars of the period, even among those who bridle at Pessen's iconoclastic views of Old Hickory and his "inegalitarian society."
