America: A Narrative History puts narrative front and centre with David Shi's rich storytelling style, colourful biographical sketches and vivid first-person quotations. The new editions further reflect the state of our history and society by continuing to incorporate diverse voices into the narrative with new coverage of the Latino/a experience as well as enhanced coverage of gender, African American, Native American, immigration and LGBTQ history. With dynamic digital tools, including the InQuizitive adaptive learning tool, and new digital activities focused on primary and secondary sources, America: A Narrative History gives students regular opportunities to engage with the story and build critical history skills.
