Bøger af John L. Brooke

The first book to explore how cultural action - including minstrelsy, theatre, and popular literature - transformed public opinion and political structures. Taking the North's rallying cry as his title, John Brooke shows how the course of history was forever changed.

Explores the struggle within the young American nation over the extension of social and political rights after the Revolution. By closely examining the formation and interplay of political structures and civil institutions in the upper Hudson Valley, John Brooke traces the debates over who should fall within and outside of the legally protected category of citizen.
