The Rise and Fall of the White Republic : Class Politics and Mass Culture in Nineteenth Century America Paperback / softback

Part of the Haymarket series

Paperback / softback

Description

In this acclaimed historical study, Alexander Saxton establishes the centrality of white racism to American politics and culture.

Examining images of race at a popular level - from blackface minstrelsy to the construction of the Western hero, from grassroots political culture to dime novels - as well as the philosophical constructions of the political elite, it is a powerful and comprehensive account of the ideological forces at work in the formation of modern America.
