The Collapse of Manifest Destiny, 1845–1872 Daniel J. Burge
Love, Politics, and the Vision of the Founders Brandon Dabling
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
Daniel J. Burge examines the belief in manifest des�ny over the nineteenth century by analyzing contested moments in the con�nental expansion of the United States, arguing that the ideology was ul�mately unsuccessful. Burge reveals how Americans debated the wisdom of expansion, challenged expansionists, and disagreed over what the boundaries of the United States should look like.
Provides a history of the changes to marriage throughout the American experience and a theore�cal argument for the goodness of the tradi�onal American family in fostering private happiness and the public good. Dabling vindicates the Founders’ understanding of marriage and argues that a pruden�al return toward this understanding is vital to America’s poli�cal health and Americans’ private happiness.

When is a war a holy crusade? And when does theology cause Chris�ans to condemn violence? In American Crusade, Benjamin Wetzel argues that the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and World War I shared a cultural meaning for white Protestant ministers in the United States, who considered each conflict to be a modern-day crusade.
CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
Weinfeld presents the biography of an idea, cultural pluralism, the intellectual precursor to modern mul�culturalism. He roots the origins of cultural pluralism in the friendship between two philosophers, Jewish immigrant Horace Kallen and African American Alain Locke, who advanced cultural pluralism in opposi�on to both racist na�vism and the assimila�onist "mel�ng pot." 1

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS
At the dawn of the Atomic Age, Americans encountered troubling new ques�ons brought about by the nuclear revolu�on. As Sarah E. Robey shows in Atomic Americans, people nego�ated the contours of nuclear ci�zenship through overlapping public discussions about survival.
In this insigh�ul biography, Burton I. Kaufman explores how the poli�cal career of Barack Obama was marked by conserva�ve tendencies that frustrated his progressive supporters and gave the lie to socialist fearmongering on the right. Obama's was a landmark presidency that paradoxically, Kaufman shows, resulted in few, if any, radical shi�s in policy.

Are Mormons really so weird? Are they poten�ally queer? These ques�ons occupy the heart of this powerful rethinking of Mormonism and its place in U.S. history, culture, and poli�cs. K. Mohrman argues that Mormon peculiarity is not inherent to the La�er-day Saint faith tradi�on, as is o�en assumed, but rather a potent expression of U.S. excep�onalism.
In the 1820s, few Americans could imagine a viable future for black children. This book tells the story of James McCune Smith and Henry Highland Garnet, two black children who came of age and into freedom as their country struggled to grow from a slave na�on into a free country.

In The Pecan, acclaimed writer and historian James McWilliams explores the history of America’s most important commercial nut. He describes how essen�al the pecan was for Na�ve Americans—by some calcula�ons, an average pecan harvest had the food value of nearly 150,000 bison. McWilliams explains that, because of its natural edibility, abundance, and ease of harves�ng, the pecan was le� in its natural state longer than any other commercial fruit or nut crop in America.
What if, Darda asks, our desire to solve racism— with science, civil rights, an�racist literature, integra�on, and color blindness—has entrenched it further? This book traces the rise of liberal an�racism, showing how reformers' faith in �me, in the moral arc of the universe, has undercut future movements with the insistence that racism cons�tutes a �me-limited crisis to be solved with �me-limited remedies.

In the early 1900s, playwrights Floyd Dell, George Cram Cook and Susan Glaspell created the renowned Provincetown Players collec�ve, which not only launched many careers but also had the power to affect US social, cultural, and poli�cal beliefs. Three Midwestern Playwrights brings these players to life.
Agrarian radicalism's challenge to capitalism played a central role in working-class ideology. Thomas Alter II follows three genera�ons of German immigrants in Texas to examine the evolu�on of agrarian radicalism and the American and transna�onal ideas that influenced it.

Race, Kinship, and the Korean War

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS
Historians recognize the cultural centrality of the newspaper press in Britain, yet li�le has been published regarding compe�ng historical understandings of the press and its proper role in Bri�sh society. Mark Hampton argues that quali�es expected of the contemporary Bri�sh press--lively wri�ng, speed, impar�ality, depth, and the ability to topple corrupt governments by informing readers-are not obvious a�ributes of journalism but derive from more than a century of debate.
Examines kinships between Chicano/a and Asian American cultural produc�on, such as the 1954 proxy adop�on of a Korean boy by Leavenworth prisoners. Unpacks wri�ngs by Rolando Hinojosa and Luis Valdez to show the counterrepresenta�ons of the Korean War and the problema�c depic�on of the US as a benevolent savior.

In Who Should Rule at Home? Joyce D. Goodfriend argues that the high-ranking gentlemen who figure so prominently in most accounts of New York City's evolu�on from 1664 to 1776 were far from invincible and that the degree of cultural power they held has been exaggerated.
