Is civic identity in the United States really defined by liberal democratic political principles Or is US citizenship the product of multiple traditionsnot only liberalism and republicanism but also white supremacy AngloSaxon supremacy Protestant supremacy and male supremacy In this powerful and disturbing book Rogers Smith traces political struggles over US citizenship laws from the colonial period through the Progressive era and shows that throughout this time most adults were legally denied access to full citizenship including political rights solely because of their race ethnicity or gender Basic conflicts over these denials have driven political development and civic membership in the US Smith argues These conflicts are what truly define US civic identity up to this dayOthers have claimed that nativist racist and sexist traditions have been marginal or that they are purely products of capitalist institutions In contrast Smiths pathbreaking account explains why these traditions have been central to American political and economic life He shows that in the politics of nation building principles of democracy and liberty have often failed to foster a sense of shared peoplehood and have instead led many Americans to claim that they are a chosen people a master race or superior culture with distinctive gender roles Smith concludes that today the United States is in a period of reaction against the egalitarian civic reforms of the last generation with nativist racist and sexist beliefs regaining influence He suggests ways that proponents of liberal democracy should alter their view of US citizenship in order to combat these developments more effectively

New developments in Civil War scholarship owe much to removal of artificial divides by historians seeking to explore the connections between the home front and the battlefield Indeed scholars taking a holistic view of the war have contributed to our understanding of the social complexities of emancipationof freedom in a white republicand the multifaceted experiences of both civilians and soldiers Given these accomplishments research focusing on military history prompts prominent and recurring debates among Civil War historians Critics of traditional military history see it as oldfashioned too technical or irrelevant to the most important aspects of the war Proponents of this area of study view these criticisms as a misreading of its nature and potential to illuminate the war The collected essays in Upon the Fields of Battle bridge this intellectual divide demonstrating how historians enrich Civil War studies by approaching the period through the specific but nonetheless expansive lens of military historyDrawing together contributions from Keith Altavilla Robert L Glaze John J Hennessy Earl J Hess Brian Matthew Jordan Kevin M Levin Brian D McKnight Jennifer M Murray and Kenneth W Noe editors Andrew S Bledsoe and Andrew F Lang present an innovative volume that deeply integrates and analyzes the ideas and practices of the military during the Civil War Furthermore by grounding this collection in both traditional and pioneering methodologies the authors assess the impact of this field within the social political and cultural contexts of Civil War studiesUpon the Fields of Battle reconceives traditional approaches to subjects like battles and battlefields practice and policy command and culture the environment the home front civilians and combatants atrocity and memory revealing a more balanced understanding of the military aspects of the Civil Wars evolving history

Discover information, advice, and prices for Inventing Stonewall Jackson A Civil, priced at 246.58 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by Jackson.
Historians attempts to understand legendary Confederate General Thomas J Stonewall Jackson have proved uneven at best and often contentious An occasionally enigmatic and eccentric college professor before the Civil War Jackson died midway through the conflict leaving behind no memoirs and relatively few surviving letters or documents In Inventing Stonewall Jackson Wallace Hettle offers an innovative and distinctive approach to interpreting Stonewall by examining the lives and agendas of those authors who shape our current understanding of General JacksonNewspaper reporters friends relatives and fellow soldiers first wrote about Jackson immediately following the Civil War Most of them according to Hettle used portions of their own life stories to frame that of the mythic general Hettle argues that the legend of Jacksons rise from poverty to power was likely inspired by the ragstoriches history of his first biographer Robert Lewis Dabney Dabneys own successes and Presbyterian beliefs probably shaped his account of Jacksons life as much as any factual research Many other authors inserted personal values into their stories of Stonewall perplexing generations of historians and writersSubsequent biographers contributed their own layers to Jacksons myth and eventually a composite history of the general came to exist in the popular imagination Later writers such as the liberal suffragist Mary Johnston who wrote a novel about Jackson and the literary critic Allen Tate who penned a laudatory biography further shaped Stonewalls myth As recently as 2003 the film Gods and Generals which featured Jackson as the key protagonist affirmed the longevity and power of his imageImpeccable research and nuanced analysis enable Hettle to use American culture and memory to reframe the Stonewall Jackson narrative and provide new ways to understand the long and contended legacy of one of the Civil Wars most popular Confederate heroes

Focusing on a period of history rocked by four armed movements Lillian Guerra traces the origins of Cubans struggles to determine the meaning of their identity and the character of the state from Cubas last war of independence in 1895 to the consolidation of US neocolonial hegemony in 1921 Guerra argues that political violence and competing interpretations of the social unity proposed by Cubas revolutionary patriot Jose Marti reveal conflicting visions of the nationvisions that differ in their ideological radicalism and in how they cast Cubas relationship with the United StatesAs Guerra explains some nationalists supported incorporating foreign investment and values while others sought social change through the application of an authoritarian model of electoral politics still others sought a democratic government with social and economic justice But for all factions the image of Marti became the principal means by which Cubans attacked policed and discredited one another to preserve their own vision over others Guerras examination demonstrates how competing historical memories and battles for control of a weak state explain why polarity rather than consensus on the idea of the nation and the character of the Cuban state came to define Cuban politics throughout the twentieth century
