Download or read book The Grammar of Good Intentions written by Susan M. Ryan (Ph. D.) and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan M. Ryan explores antebellum Americans' preoccupation with the language and practice of benevolence. Drawing on a variety of cultural and literary texts, she traces how people working and writing within social reform movements--and their outspoken opponents--helped solidify racial and class ideologies that ultimately marginalized even the most "deserving" poor. "The links between race and the relations of benevolence occasioned much soul-searching among antebellum Americans," Ryan explains. "In a period of heated public debate over issues such as slavery, Indian removal, and non-Protestant immigration, the categories of blackness, Indianness, and a generic 'foreignness' came to signify, for many whites, need itself." Ryan puts familiar literary works such as Herman Melville's The Confidence-Man, Frederick Douglass's My Bondage and My Freedom, and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin back into dialogue with a broad range of print materials: the reports of charity societies, African American and Native American newspapers, juvenile fiction, travel writing, cartoons, sermons, and tract literature. In the process, she dispels the myth that authors usually classified as literary were responding to a simple and unquestioned cult of benevolence. Rather, she contends, they were participating in the complex and often rancorous debates occurring within the broader culture over how good intentions should be expressed and enacted.Ryan's inquiry into the antebellum culture of benevolence has implications for contemporary U.S. society, resonating especially with recent debates over welfare reform, the politics of compassionate conservatism, and representations of "welfare queens" and violent urban youth. As Ryan writes, "The conversations that this book reconstructs remind us of our ongoing participation in the national ritual of laying claim to good intentions."

Download or read book Commons Democracy written by Dana D. Nelson and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commons Democracy highlights a poorly understood dimension of democracy in the early United States. It tells a story that, like the familiar one, begins in the Revolutionary era. But instead of the tale of the Founders’ high-minded ideals and their careful crafting of the safe framework for democracy—a representative republican government—Commons Democracy examines the power of the democratic spirit, the ideals and practices of everyday people in the early nation. As Dana D. Nelson reveals in this illuminating work, the sensibility of participatory democratic activity fueled the involvement of ordinary folk in resistance, revolution, state constitution-making, and early national civic dissent. The rich variety of commoning customs and practices in the late colonies offered non-elite actors a tangible and durable relationship to democratic power, one significantly different from the representative democracy that would be institutionalized by the Framers in 1787. This democracy understood political power and liberties as communal, not individual. Ordinary folk practiced a democracy that was robustly participatory and insistently local. To help tell this story, Nelson turns to early American authors—Hugh Henry Brackenridge, James Fenimore Cooper, Robert Montgomery Bird, and Caroline Kirkland—who were engaged with conflicts that emerged from competing ideals of democracy in the early republic, such as the Whiskey Rebellion and the Anti-Rent War as well as the enclosure of the legal commons, anxieties about popular suffrage, and practices of frontier equalitarianism. While Commons Democracy is about the capture of “democracy” for the official purposes of state consolidation and expansion, it is also a story about the ongoing (if occluded) vitality of commons democracy, of its power as part of our shared democratic history and its usefulness in the contemporary toolkit of citizenship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nick of the Woods, Vol. 2 of 2: A Story of Kentucky Upon a stone which accident or perhaps the humani ty of the old warrior, had placed under his head, he could distinguish a hollow, patter1ng, distant sound, in which, at first mistaken for the murmur ring of the river over some rocky ledge, and then for the clatter of wild beasts approaching over the rocky hill, his practised ear soon detected the trampling of a body of horse, evidently winding their way along the stony road which had con ducted him to captivity, and from which he was but a few paces removed. His heart thrilled Within him. Was it, could it be, a band of gallant Kentuckians, in pursuit of the bold marauders, whose presence in the neighbourhood of the set tlements had been already made known? Or could they be (the thrill of expectation gotew to t1ansport, as he thought it, ) his fellow emigrants, summoned by the faithful Nathan to his assistance, and now straining every nerve to overtake the savages, whom they had tracked from the dese1t ed ruin? He could now account for the disappear ance of his captors, and the deathlike silence that surrounded him. Too vigilant to be taken at un awares, and perhaps long since apprized of the coming of the band, the Indians had resumed their hiding-places in the grass and among the bushes, preparing for the new-comers an ambuscade simi lar to that they had so successfully practised against Roland's unfortunate party. Let them hide as they will, detestable miscreants, he mut tered to himself, with feelings of vindictive tri umph; they will not, this time, have frighted women, and a handful of dispirited fugitives to deal with.

Book excerpt: Nathan on the one hand is a peace-loving Quaker who wouldn't hurt a fly; at other times he's the feared Jibbenainosay, a secretive, brutal killer of Indians in the Kentucky wilderness. Being Quaker, Nathan talks with the ever-present "thees" and "thous" in every sentence, which becomes somewhat comical after a while. But when he turns into the Nick of the Woods, he's the brutal slayer of all things Shawnee. His own family was murdered by Indians (thus the transformation), and when he finally avenges those murders, he disappears and is never heard from again. --Bomojaz at Amazon.com
