History Without Borders: Keynote Address

Americans often believe that the nation and its history are self-contained developing largely independent of the rest of the world. Such a view has failed to recognize the interconnectedness between a nation's history and the history of other nations. In his keynote speech at the Massachusetts School of Law Studying America in the World: History Without Borders conference, Professor Thomas Bender of New York University addressed the current one-sided nature of American history that we read and learn about in our society.
