Carl J. Guarneri is the Brother James Ash Professor of History Emeritus at Saint Mary s College of California, where he has taught since receiving his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in 1979. He has also been a visiting professor at Colgate University and the University of Paris. A historian of nineteenth-century America, Guarneri has won national fellowships for his research and published prize-winning books and articles on reform movements, utopian socialism, the Civil War and American cultural history. Among these are The Utopian Alternative: Fourierism in Nineteenth-Century American (Cornell University Press, 1991), two collections of essays, and Lincoln's Informer: Charles A. Dana and the Inside Story of the Union War (University Press of Kansas, 2019). He has co-directed two institutes for the National Endowment for the Humanities on Rethinking America in Global Perspective at the Library of Congress. His survey-course reader, America Compared: American History in International Perspective (Cengage, 2nd Edition, 2005), and his brief textbook, America in the World: United States History in Global Context (McGraw-Hill, 2007), are seminal undergraduate texts. His anthology, Teaching American History in a Global Context (M.E. Sharpe, 2008), offers a globalizing toolkit for U.S. history instructors. Through his publications and presentations, Dr. Guarneri has been a leading voice in the movement to globalize the study and teaching of U.S. history. See less
