Summary "In this volume, Paul Conkin offers his commentary on almost every aspect of the American past. A common theme shared by all the essays is the ambiguous results of our nation's transition from relatively homogeneous communities, villages, and regions to a cosmopolitan culture with a centralized, regulatory welfare state and an increasingly mobile and pluralistic population." "Conkin charts the strains and tensions that have marked this incredible transition, and reflects on the historians' craft and the influence of his own past on the subject he studies."--BOOK JACKET.
