America in the Nineties

Nina Esperanza Serrianne holds an MA in history and political science and is currently pursuing a PhD in public policy at George Mason University, USA.

Provides a wide-ranging treatment of political, foreign/ military, social, economic and popular culture developments in the United States during an event-filled period in the very recent past. There are few other titles that focus on this broad a canvas during such a relatively narrow time period.-- "David Bennett, author of Bill Clinton: Building a Bridge to the New Millennium" An indispensable resource for students, scholars, and general readers alike. Serrianne charts the major developments of this pivotal decade and situates them within the broader context of recent American history. Highly recommended. -- "William A. Taylor, author of Every Citizen a Soldier" [America in the Nineties] takes a step back to the decade of the 1990s, from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. . . . Serrianne analyzes the cultural changes of the 1990s, including issues of race relations, women's rights, and the LGBT movement. Backlash to the Civil Rights movement, the Conservative Revolution, Reaganomics in the 1980s, and the election of Bill Clinton created a decade in which both sides of the political spectrum sought to gain their footing.-- "The New York History Blog"
