Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Decolonizing the Diet challenges the common claim that Native American communities were decimated after 1492 because they lived in ?Virgin Soils? that were biologically distinct from those in the Old World. Comparing the European transition from Paleolithic hunting and gathering with Native American subsistence strategies before and after 1492, the book offers a new way of understanding the link between biology, ecology and history. Synthesizing the latest work in the science of nutrition, immunity and evolutionary genetics with cutting-edge scholarship on the history of indigenous North America, Decolonizing the Diet highlights a fundamental model of human demographic destruction: human populations have been able to recover from mass epidemics within a century, whatever their genetic heritage. They fail to recover from epidemics when their ability to hunt, gather and farm nutritionally dense plants and animals is diminished by war, colonization and cultural destruction. The history of Native America before and after 1492 clearly shows that biological immunity is contingent on historical context, not least in relation to the protection or destruction of long-evolved nutritional building blocks that underlie human immunity.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Remembering Histories of Trauma compares and links Native American, First Nation and Jewish histories of traumatic memory. Using source material from both sides of the Atlantic, it examines the differences between ancestral experiences of genocide and the representation of those histories in public sites in the United States, Canada and Europe. Challenging the ways public bodies have used those histories to frame the cultural and political identity of regions, states, and nations, it considers the effects of those representations on internal group memory, external public memory and cultural assimilation. Offering new ways to understand the Native-Jewish encounter by highlighting shared critiques of public historical representation, Mailer seeks to transcend historical tensions between Native American studies and Holocaust studies. In linking and comparing European and American contexts of historical trauma and their representation in public memory, this book brings Native American studies, Jewish studies, early American history, Holocaust studies, and museum studies into conversation with each other. In revealing similarities in the public representation of Indigenous genocide and the Holocaust it offers common ground for Jewish and Indigenous histories, and provides a new framework to better understand the divergence between traumatic histories and the ways they are memorialized.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An original and deeply researched look at how Scottish Enlightenment ideals interacted with religious philosophy to inform and inspire abolitionists and enslavers alike in the founding of the American republic. The concept of libertyso important to the American foundingwas significantly informed by Scottish Enlightenment philosophy, which was central to the the Framers' religious and political education. This intellectual tradition offered potential support for antislavery ideology. Some founders, however, were also enslavers whose practices of bondage were in conspicuous contradiction with these professed ideals. What is the actual relationship between the Scottish Enlightenment and racial slavery Gideon Mailer answers this question in The Character of Freedom. Mailer examines how enlightenment and evangelical religious ideas interacted with discussions of racial slavery in the Scottish Atlantic World from the 1740s through the 1840s. From Glasgow to Philadelphia, from Edinburgh to Princeton, and from Aberdeen to Virginia, Scottish-founded religious and educational bodies encompassed competing moral philosophical systems. Moral thinkers developed conceptions of liberty that reflected their institutional and theological commitments. In Britain, colonial America, and the United States, white thinkers were required to grapple withor simply evadethe contradiction between their theoretical definitions of liberty and the slaveholding interests in their realm. In those same contexts, however, black Presbyterians were likelier to use Scottish moral philosophy to espouse a more radical abolitionist approach, eventually influencing white theorists to adopt bolder agendas. The Character of Freedom is an eye-opening look at the history of abolitionist ideas in the formative period of American political life. Spanning the Atlantic and exploring both white and black thinkers, Mailer's groundbreaking work is a major contribution to our understanding of early American political thought.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1768, John Witherspoon, Presbyterian leader of the evangelical Popular party faction in the Scottish Kirk, became the College of New Jersey's sixth president. At Princeton, he mentored constitutional architect James Madison; as a New Jersey delegate to the Continental Congress, he was the only clergyman to sign the Declaration of Independence. Although Witherspoon is often thought to be the chief conduit of moral sense philosophy in America, Mailer's comprehensive analysis of this founding father's writings demonstrates the resilience of his evangelical beliefs. Witherspoon's Presbyterian evangelicalism competed with, combined with, and even superseded the civic influence of Scottish Enlightenment thought in the British Atlantic world.John Witherspoon's American Revolution examines the connection between patriot discourse and long-standing debates--already central to the 1707 Act of Union-about the relationship among piety, moral philosophy, and political unionism. In Witherspoon's mind, Americans became different from other British subjects because more of them had been awakened to the sin they shared with all people. Paradoxically, acute consciousness of their moral depravity legitimized their move to independence by making it a concerted moral action urged by the Holy Spirit. Mailer's exploration of Witherspoon's thought and influence suggests that, for the founders in his circle, civic virtue rested on personal religious awakening.…
