Praise for the previous edition

"Chafe presents Americana, its strengths and fears, its pock marks and its beauty along with its unity and diversity. It's a wonderful resource for our class!"--Barbara Boe, Carthage College

"The chapter on the Sixties and the material on the women's movement are excellent. The book is superbly written."--Edward Wheat, University of Southern Mississippi

"Chafes book is concise, while at the same time being extremely informative. It is one of the best, if not the best, history for this time period. A masterful job of weaving all facets of the American experience together. "--F. Muslimeci, Mohave Community College

"The Unfinished Journey still makes our students feel the history of the postwar era and is unsurpassed for the civil rights coverage. "--Mollie C. Davis, Queens College
