Hahn's A Nation Without Borders is not a general survey of U.S. history during the period 1830-1910. Instead, it is more a college seminar text on interpretations of various special topics, though with a continuous narrative. The topics include the territorial expansion of the U.S. government; the comparative development of nation-states during the Nineteenth Century; marginal minority groups' experiences in the U.S., in particular: Mexicans, Indians, African-Americans, socialists and anarchists; and Marxist historiography. But it is packaged as if it were a survey for the general reader.
