«The American Future: A History» is Simon Schama's historical essay, published by Random House (384 pages, in English).
The book traces the history of the United States through power, race, immigration, religious fervor, and prosperity, and analyzes how the country renews itself in crises. Schama addresses American exceptionalism and links past and present to explain why the fate of the United States, and by extension that of the world, hangs by a thread.
The work was originally published in 2008; the paperback edition of this ISBN appeared in 2012. It is framed within the political and social history of the United States.
For readers interested in the contemporary history of the United States and in the political and social debates that have marked the country.
