The Councilor, the semiannual, peer-reviewed journal of the Illinois Council for the Social Studies, published a book review essay of mine on America on the World Stage: A Global Approach to U.S. History. The essay is titled “The Transnational Turn and Trickle Down Disturbances.” The title doesn’t seem as apt or witty to me now as it did when I was attempting to dream up something eye-catching for the piece. C’est la vie. But after rereading the review, I think it builds toward some important points about the book and the Transnational Turn in general.
In case you’re interested, here is the table of contents for The Councilor‘s inaugural issue. There you’ll find that another USIH contributor, Andrew Hartman, authored a piece titled “The Enemy Within (the Ivory Tower): How Conservatives Came to Despise the Academy.” – TL
