Introduction
Conclusion
Uncle Tom and Ewythr Robert
This article explores the relationship between anti-slavery and the ethnic reconstruction of Welshness which took place in the nineteenth century. Their alleged anti-slavery credentials allowed the Welsh to define themselves as more ethical and Christian than the other British nations, and the author claims that anti-slavery, along with disestablishment and temperance, was a key plank in the establishment of a hegemonic Nonconformist definition o…
Assimilation through Self-Assertion
In this article, the aim is to problematize the common distinction made between 'assimilationism' and 'nationalism' by exploring the liberatory dimension within assimilationist thought in nineteenth century Wales and African America. Whereas what we might call the 'conservationist nationalism' of Michael D. Jones (in Wales) and Martin Delany (in America) sought to preserve what they deemed to be valuable in their people's cultures, the assimilati…
Introduction
The transatlantic turn in American studies, to which Comparative American Studies has been a significant contributor since its inception in 2003, emerged with the questioning of exceptionalist readings of the history and literature of the United States, and resulted in the rejection of a ‘model of complicity’ whereby ‘literary texts are deployed to shore up and enforce a national self-image’ (Manning and Taylor eds., 2007: 1). Paul Gilroy’s The B…
Another lost cause? Pan-Celticism, race and language
Taking its lead from Slavoj Zizek's recent work, this article suggests that revisiting the ‘lost cause’ of Pan-Celticism may lead us to consider some of the unthinking assumptions involved in the contemporary liberal embrace of a multicultural, ‘civic’, nationalism. This article thus revisits what the historian R. F. Foster describes as a ‘forgotten aspect’ of the Irish literary revival of the 1890s: the Pan-Celtic movement. The late 1880s and 18…
If we only had some of what they have' Ralph Ellison in Wales
During his period as a merchant marine in the Second World War, the African American novelist Ralph Ellison was stationed in Swansea, Wales. His short story 'In a Strange Country', collected in Flying Home and Other Stories (1998), is based on these Welsh experiences, and there are two other unpublished Welsh-based stories among the Ellison papers at the Library of Congress: 'A Storm of Blizzard Proportions' and 'The Red Cross at Morriston, South…
Ethnicity and Cultural AuthorityFrom Arnold to Du Bois
Writing in 1903, W. E. B. Du Bois suggested that the goal for the African American was ‘to be a co-worker in the kingdom of culture’. He was evoking ‘culture’ as a solution to the divisions within society, thereby adopting, in a very different context, an idea that had been influentially expressed by Matthew Arnold in the 1860s. Du Bois questioned the assumed universality of this concept by asking who, ultimately, is allowed into the ‘kingdom of …
