Sobre este artículo
New York: Atheneum, 1985. Sequel to the author's Beveridge Award-winning 'Regeneration Through Violence', this is a broad-ranging study of the fundamental American myth, of an Edenic wilderness that must be tamed by civilized [white Protestant] men; and how that myth was used in the nineteenth century to justify/explain America's rise to power and to rationalize violence against groups impeding that progress: first, the 'Indians', later "ignorant" Africans & "savage" white ethnic proletarians (prone to labor strikes) in the north-east. Stout hardcover in jacket, as pictured; stated first edition (first printing). Light shelfwear to book, minor rumpling/dishing to spine; jacket shows minor edgewear, short tear to rear panel, spine faded - the author's name should be red, not white. Text clean; xiii, blank, 636 pages + note on the author, a Wesleyan University professor; index, extensive bibliography, notes. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Large Octavo.
