Just in time for a new academic year, the American Social History Project at the CUNY Graduate Center is releasing a new, expanded, and updated edition of the popular
textbook Who Built America? Working People and the Nation’s History. A beta version is now available as a free, open-access digital resource featuring a comprehensive
social history textbook supplemented by thousands of primary sources drawn from our History Matters website and new teaching resources.
Designed for use in college-level classes and high school Advanced Placement and richly illustrated with hundreds of images, Who Built America? takes a social history
approach that is well suited for the US history survey and a range of classes, including labor and immigration history and African American, ethnic, and gender studies. We
encourage you to explore this new edition (currently in its final testing phase), consider adopting it for your classes, and return to the site frequently to see additional features
and content that will become available in the coming weeks.
