Contested Boundaries: A New Pacific Northwest History is an engaging, contemporary look at the themes, events, and people that have shaped the history of the Pacific Northwest over the last two centuries.

An engaging look at the themes, events, and people that shaped the Pacific Northwest - Washington, Oregon, and Idaho - from when only Native Peoples inhabited the land through the twentieth century.
Twelve theme-driven essays covering the human and environmental impact of exploration, trade, settlement and industrialization in the nineteenth century, followed by economic calamity, world war and globalization in the twentieth.
Written by two professors with over 20 years of teaching experience, this work introduces the history of the Pacific Northwest in a style that is accessible, relevant, and meaningful for anyone wishing to learn more about the region's recent history. A companion website for students and instructors includes test banks, PowerPoint presentations, student self-assessment tests, useful primary documents, and resource links: www.wiley.com/go/jepsen/contestedboundaries.

Industry Reviews

"The authors use and point readers to Internet resources, including museum collections, which are essential to Northwest history today. The book's text and its many features highlight a more inclusive past than textbooks from previous generations [...] Drawing sometimes from local newspapers and occasionally from interviews brings voices of immediacy from the past to the reader." - Oregon Historical Quarterly (2017)

"My community college students appreciate the storytelling [and] the brief topical narratives touching on the book’s thematic approach. My favorite aspect is the use of primary sources, all of which are footnoted, and the extensive bibliographies at the back of each chapter. The notes are not intrusive, and students come away with a keen sense of how historians think and write [...] Jepsen and Norberg have given us an interesting way to conceptualize invisible borders, and it’s a theme that my students and I can dig into as we share and reflect on the multitude of narratives and competing viewpoints that continue to shape this region." - Anna Booker, Whatcom Community College (2019)
