For the Record : A Documentary History of America

For the Record features over 250 primary source selections, both textual and visual, drawn from a broad range of government documents, newspapers, speeches, letters, and novels. In the Eighth Edition, timely new selections on the Latino/a experience in American history expands the already inclusive collection of documents (covering gender, African American, Native American, immigration, and LGBTQ history) and allows students to better understand the issues of today. For the first time, For the Record is available as an ebook, making it an even more incredible value both as a stand-alone text and as the perfect companion reader for the America family of textbooks by coeditor David E. Shi.
