Beschreibungen/Notizen
In much the same idiom of linking political culture to political practices, Davis's concluding statement reflects expansively on the implications of all the essays in this collection for the nation's larger history as a white supremacist polity. [...]while his "The Culmination of Racial Polarities and Prejudice" locates the roots of white republican racial bias deep in medieval and renaissance history, he also regards the 1830s as a critical juncture when the historical possibility of the general emancipation of peoples of color first collided with vehement political actions designed to repress any such eventuality. Readers will quickly discover that these essays have been written in part in ongoing dialogue with one another. Since contributors all read and reflected on one another's essays while revising their own drafts, the process of discovering connections between them proved to be obvious, revealing, and, ultimately, the feature of this collection that creates the hope of presenting something "greater than the sum of its parts." [...]readers are invited not only to follow the interessay conversations that appear throughout the volume, but to extend, modify, and revise them as seems to them most rigorous, revealing, and rewarding.
