American Nationalisms

ISBN: 1108355994

Pages : 265
Book Description
America was born in an age of political revolution throughout the Atlantic world, a period when the very definition of 'nation' was transforming. Benjamin E. Park traces how Americans imagined novel forms of nationality during the country's first five decades within the context of European discussions taking place at the same time. Focusing on three case studies - Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina - Park examines the developing practices of nationalism in three specific contexts. He argues for a more elastic connection between nationalism and the nation-state by demonstrating that ideas concerning political and cultural allegiance to a federal body developed in different ways and at different rates throughout the nation. American Nationalisms explores how ideas of nationality permeated political disputes, religious revivals, patriotic festivals, slavery debates, and even literature.

The Rights of Women in a Democratic Republic
Author: Frederick GrimkePublisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 1480829307
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Frederick Grimke is the last person anyone including scholars who have recounted the careers of his two sisters Sarah and Angelina in the nineteenth century feminist movement would have suspected of having a sympathetic interest in womens rights. An intellectual with quietly held opinions on secession and slavery reflecting his antebellum southern heritage, who spent the last two decades of his life pursuing interests in political theory, he was famous among fellow townsmen for his aversion to female company. But his affection for his sisters and his admiration for what they had achieved in their public careers inspired this essay, The Rights of Women in a Democratic Republic, in which he made a remarkably prescient forecast of the vocational future of American women including married women with children once given access to higher education. The essay was nearly lost. Grimke himself had doubts about it, and after appealing to Sarah to help him resolve them, died in 1863 leaving an instruction that it be omitted from the edition of all his writings which his executor published in 1871, in a cheaply fabricated volume with very small distribution. Melhorns Epilogue reveals who the executor was, and how he came to disobey the order for the essays suppression. With new research findings revealing Grimkes influence on his sister Sarahs writings, and the discovery of feminist issues as an undergraduate debate topic at Yale where he was educated, Melhorns Commentary broadens the scope of the history of womens rights in America.
