From the editor: “Our main focus in this new edi?on is a major revision of Part Six, which comprises the seven chapters covering 1945 to the present. We have been especially concerned to give this part of the text greater thema?c coherence. Reflec?ng an emerging scholarly consensus, our framework for the post-‐1945 period of U.S. history roughly divides the period into two eras, and can be summarized as follows: A midcentury era defined by sustained economic growth and broadly shared prosperity followed, star?ng in the 1970s, by a new era of more figul growth that has witnessed both increasing economic inequality as well as increasing social inclusiveness. As in the text’s five other major Parts, anchoring the narra?ve of events in a coherent interpre?ve framework facilitates the acquisi?on of important historical thinking skills, including periodiza?on, synthe?c reasoning, and contextual analysis. Within each chapter in Part Six, moreover, we have made other addi?ons and revisions to enhance further the development of key historical thinking skills. A new Chapter 37 “Thinking Globally” item on The Global Six?es places the youth poli?cs of that era in an interna?onal and compara?ve context, while a new Chapter 40 “Examining the Evidence” item on a George W. Bush-‐era na?onal security document grapples explicitly with the task of craking arguments from historical evidence. Another “Thinking Globally” item on globaliza?on, now in Chapter 38, has been heavily revised to emphasize the changing interna?onal economic context for domes?c U.S. developments beginning in the 1970s. “Varying Viewpoints” essays on the 1960s (Chapter 37) and conserva?sm (Chapter 39) have also been updated extensively to incorporate new historiography and to emphasize the challenges of weighing differing historical interpreta?ons. The rela?ve space dedicated to Part Six within the textbook overall has also been expanded slightly, bringing the distribu?on of the Pageant’s coverage of historical periods into bemer alignment with the revised AP® recommenda?ons for instruc?onal ?me dedicated to Periods 8 (1945-‐1980) and 9 (1980-‐present).”
The narra?ve and features of The American Pageant over the last few edi?ons have focused on more thema?c coverage and historical thinking skills in alignment with the direc?on of the College Board®. Below is from the editor on the changes to the 16th edi?on narra?ve to align bemer with the redesigned AP® Course.
