America in 1900

de Noel J. Kent

"At the beginning of this century, the nation grappled for the first time with a series of complex new challenges: distribution of wealth and economic opportunity; the form race and ethnic relations should take in a country of increasing diversity; the relationship between big business and government; how the United States, as a new world power, should act overseas; and a host of others.". "Kent's ten chapters comprise a colorful narrative history of the major events of this pivotal year that continues to resonate a century later."--BOOK JACKET.
