Özet:

 

Recent calls to internationalize American history have prompted American  history scholars outside the United States to evaluate how their own particular  experiences might contribute to this new historiographic framework  Vaudagna;  Adams; Kroes . My own reflections on the usefulness of this approach to British  Americanist scholars and students have encouraged a reconsideration of why and  how American history came to be established in Britain’s schools and universities.1  The introduction of American history to the United Kingdom was itself a  transatlantic and international enterprise. It was inspired by Britain and America’s  shared past as well as present history and a mixture of public, scholarly and  political affirmations of a warm and cordial Anglo American relationship. Its  emergence was also inseparable from the need in Britain to craft a new identity in  the wake of World War II and the demise of its Empire, and the need in America to  project and defend its new superpower status abroad in a Cold War climate.
