American Radicals: How Nineteenth-Century Protest Shaped the Nation

byHolly Jackson

Holly Jackson's American Radicals investigates how nineteenth-century protest shaped the nation, grounding a large subject in the people and choices that shaped it. Using archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, American Radicals moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing American Radicals within history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how how nineteenth-century protest shaped the nation continues to shape the present.
