The Cambridge History of America and the World
The first volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines how the United States emerged out of a series of colonial interactions, some involving indigenous empires and communities that were already present when the first Europeans reached the Americas, others the adventurers and settlers dispatched by Europe's imperial powers to secure their American claims, and still others men and women brought as slaves or indentured servants…
Cambridge History of America and the World
If Radicals Ruled the World
To grasp the argument of Jonathan Israel’s sprawling new book, one hardly needs to read past the title page. Between 1775 and 1848, Americans set the world ablaze, igniting parallel revolutions in Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland, Cape Town, Haiti, Greece, Venezuela, Argentina, and, eventually, the rest of Spanish America. They did this, Israel maintains, by taking the radical and moderate strands of the eighteenth-centur…
The Making of a White Settler Nation
Although neither “white” nor “race” appear in the title, this is a book about how white racism and racialist thinking shaped the westward expansion of the United States. In seven meticulously researched, carefully argued chapters, Paul Frymer focuses on federal land policy between the Treaty of Paris, which ended the War of the American Revolution in 1783, and the admission of New Mexico and Arizona to the union in 1912. Throughout this period, w…
Charles S. Maier. Once within Borders
“Until recently,” writes Charles Maier in this important book, “we could take territory for granted.” For Europeans and Americans—the unstated “we” in Maier’s observation—that condition no longer exists. Where political spaces and the borders that surround them were once “protective and offered security and belonging,” usually without much in the way of “self-conscious effort” or reflection (at least on the part of the citizens who inhabited them…
Independence and Interdependence
What did it mean to be a postcolonial nation in the age of the American Revolution? What does the answer tell us about the new world that the revolution helped to create? To find out, this article turns to the brief, spectacular history of the State of Muskogee, an ersatz Indian nation founded on the Gulf Coast by the white adventurer William Augustus Bowles. Boasting its own army and navy, its own flag and vice admiralty court, and its own newsp…
Empire and Nation
The Borderlands of American Diplomacy
Borderlines in Borderlands, John Stagg's book on James Madison's diplomatic vision, stands at the intersection of two historiographies, both of which have been enjoying a revival of late. One is the history of the so-called Spanish-American borderlands, including Texas, East and West Florida, and California; the other is the diplomatic history of the early American republic. Not surprisingly, given its emphasis on transnational and multiracial th…
