In rethinking American history in a global age, the writer offers a new way of thinking about the discipline of American history itself. This novel locates the study of American history in a global context. It examines the history of a nation in the United states in relations to other countries.
The writer offers a unique way of looking at the history of nation building. He is offering alternative interpretations about the American history and in a wider context. That is why I am interested in reading this book, it presents an opportunity for writers to learn from the collection of essays that brought this book to life.
The structure of the essay is organized and logical in its advancements of looking at the causes and consequences of history are traced throughout the globe. This method of organisation is helping the author in trying to advance his purpose. The writer is providing theoretical assessments in questioning whether American historians can force you to overcome domestic preoccupations. Writers style of writing does not help him in advancing his claim. The writer is using complex and difficult words in his writings and therefore it might erode the meaning of the whole context.
The writer's introduction and conclusion hook the reader in. The writer is using captivating and well organized texts in bringing out his point. His unique point of view goes a long way in helping the reader be captivated with his introduction.
The writer's strength comes from the uniqueness of his writings. This uniqueness offers a new way of thinking about the periods of American history. The major weakness of this novel is the complexity of the words used by the writer. The use of hard words will not go down well in advancing his claim.
