"A solid introductory text to American history after Reconstruction and through the First World War. A broadly neglected field of American history, this does a nice job of contextualizing that period's social turmoil by linking postwar racial tensions to the burgeoning class and gender problems that exploded into the public sphere around the same time. As importantly, Painter writes with fire and just the right dose of venom. The chapters are a breeze to read and chock-full of tidbits (perhaps too many, but easily skimmable) and the message crystal clear. Serious scholars will lament that this is more a collection of (now older) secondary citations (including someone like Howard Zinn) rather than a rigid combing through of original sources, but it accomplishes its aim rather admirably."
