Postwar America is an up-to-date
history of the United States from the presidency of Harry Truman at
the end of World War II to the presidency of Barack Obama today. By
taking an interdisciplinary approach, Professor Paul Levine
combines political, social and cultural history to explore American
life during the last seven decades. Among the themes he discusses
are: racism and mulficulturalism;civil rights and civil society;
the Cold War and Soft Power; immigration and the American Dream.
Postwar America is a distillation of lectures Paul Levine delivered
at two Fulbright-sponsored seminars for Chinese postgraduate
students held at Shantou University and Beijing Foreign Studies
University in 2009 and 2010. The lectures have been revised to
serve as a general introduction for all Chinese university
students. Paul Levine is Professor Emeritus in American Literature
at Copenhagen University and a former Fulbright Professor at East
China Normal University.
