American social studies : a university primer Upplaga 2

The first edition of American Social Studies (1991) soon became the most widely used course book for American social studies in English departments at Swedish universities and colleges. The second edition has been thoroughly revised, providing an up-to-date survey of American geography, ethnic diversity, government, education, and social problems. It is intended primarily for university-level English-language courses in countries outside the United States. The author explains many basic concepts and phenomena with the foreign adult reader in mind and illustrates his points with numerous relevant examples. He also provides addresses to pertinent web sites for updates and further research. 2nd edition
