A Nation takes Shape, 1789-1837,
By tom heldmann (chicago, Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Nation Takes Shape: 1789-1837 (The Chicago History of American Civilization) (Paperback)
Cunliffe, British Born, takes a look at the formatives years in the United States History. He tries to show the key aspects that brought the people a sense of nation. All Cunliffe's writing revolves around questions of nationhood, national identity, national peculiarity, national culture, national iconography, national tradition. He sees the nationality riddles as they must properly be seen: as Ultimately intelligible only in a comparative context. Cunliffe has the advantage of being able to look at the United states from a distance without the usually egocentrism that most American authors have about our own history.
