The voices of women and different ethnic groups are presented with a degree of consistency. The text does well in incorporating more perspectives of the American experience than textbooks did in previous generations. There is not an obvious bias detectable in the work. Likewise, the perspectives presented in the American Yawp are well within the main conventions of historical writing. These are both valuable resources, and the latter could be especially useful for students tasked with writing research essays. Likewise, a glossary might be nice, but I don’t consider its absence to be a major defect.Įach chapter is followed by a list of citations and recommendations for further reading. The book lacks an index and glossary, but since students can search for particular words the absence of an index is not problematic. On the whole, their choices make good sense. As with any US history textbook, the authors/editors have made choices about the amount of focus devoted to each particular subject. The narrative provides a fairly comprehensive treatment of the subject matter. Reviewed by Kyle Welty, Lecturer, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley on 12/20/22 The primary and secondary sources at the end of each chapter allow the students to provide further historical context. If a student wants a hard copy, it's inexpensive. This textbook should be considered for any US history class as it is available immediately and costs nothing.

The American Yawp is an easily accessible Open Educational Resource that caters to the survey-level college class. There's always room for improvement, as the text falls into the traditional narrative. The American Yawp works to be inclusive and looks at perspectives from a myriad of people, and the primary source reader aids the historical context.
