This conclusion to the acclaimed trilogy offers an authorita�ve appraisal of the modern Ozarks and its people. Brooks Blevins shows that whilst the popular imagina�on stereotyped Ozarkers as ridge runners, hillbillies, and pioneers—colorful throwbacks hos�le to change—the real Ozarks reflected a more complex reality.
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS
Drawing on an extensive range of le�ers, diaries, oral histories, and memoirs, Piehler challenges the conven�onal wisdom that portrays the American GI as a nonideological warrior. Recounts the armed forces’ unprecedented efforts to meet the spiritual needs of the fi�een million men and women who served in World War II.

Do the na�on's highest officers, including the President, have a right to lie protected by the First Amendment? If not, what can be done to protect the na�on under this threat? This book explores the various op�ons.
This book argues that na�vism, the hos�lity especially to Catholic immigrants that led to the organiza�on of poli�cal par�es like the KnowNothings, affected the meaning of nineteenthcentury American art in ways that have gone unrecognized. Demonstrates how central this supposedly fringe movement was to viewers and makers of American art. 1

We celebrate innova�on and experimenta�on, but Claudia Stokes reminds us that nineteenth-century American writers instead valued familiarity and tradi�onalism, which provided reliable markers of literary quality. Old Style examines the varied uses and expressions of unoriginality, which helped creden�al marginalized writers.
Examines nineteenth-century African diasporic travel wri�ng to expand and complicate understandings of the Black Atlan�c. Gunning draws on the wri�ng of missionaries, aboli�onists, entrepreneurs, and explorers whose work challenges the assump�ons that travel wri�ng is primarily associated with leisure or scien�fic research. 8

Full of colorful details and engrossing stories, Pursuing Respect in the Cannibal Isles shows that the aspira�ons of individual Americans to be recognized as people worthy of others' respect was a driving force in the global extension of United States influence shortly a�er the na�on's founding.
Race and the Making of American Poli�cal Science shows that racial thought was central to the academic study of poli�cs in the United States at its origins, shaping the discipline's core categories and ques�ons in fundamental and las�ng ways.

In Red Dynamite, Carl R. Weinberg argues that crea�onism's tenacious hold on American public life depended on culture-war poli�cs inextricably embedded in religion. Many Chris�an conserva�ves were convinced that evolu�onary thought promoted immoral and even bes�al social, sexual, and poli�cal behavior.
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME PRESS
Influenced by culture war theories first introduced in the 1990s, much of the recent history of modern American religion and poli�cs is wri�en in a mode that takes for granted the enduring par�san divides that can blind us to the complex and dynamic intersec�ons of faith and poli�cs.

The Crisis of Voter Suppression in America Gilda R. Daniels
This book tells the story of how Uncle Tom, the Christ-like protagonist of Harriet Beecher Stowe's an�-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, became a racial epithet and why Americans have been invoking this controversial figure for more than 160 years.
Recent years have seen a con�nuous assault on access to the ballot box in the form of stricter voter ID requirements, meritless claims of rigged elec�ons, and baseless accusa�ons of voter fraud. Gilda R. Daniels warns that a premeditated strategy is eroding some American voters’ democra�c rights. Excludes SE Asia & ANZ
