AN ESSAY BY DAVID THELEN: HISTORY MAKING IN AMERICA |
| |
Abstract: | Born in 1939 in Berkeley, California, Thelen received his B.A. from Antioch College and his master's and doctoral degrees in U.S. history from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, during the 1960s. In 1985, he moved to Indiana University, Bloomington, in order to become editor of The Journal of American History, published by the Organization of American Historians. Besides being an innovative and imaginative editor, Thelen has been actively involved with the Committee on History-Making in America and its new center that opened at Indiana University in September 1990. Anyone interested in this project is invited to write to Lois Silverman, Director, Center on History-Making in America, Indiana University, 203 Education Building, Bloomington, Indiana, 47405. |
