Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1898 the United States went to war to free Cuba from a colonial empire and ended the year ruling the Philippines by force. A republic founded in revolt against empire now had to decide whether to become one. Against Empire: Patriotic Dissent at 250 gathers the writers, statesmen, and reformers who fought that decision - and who insisted they were not betraying the republic but defending it.The opposition came from the height of American life. Mark Twain, Andrew Carnegie, Carl Schurz, William Jennings Bryan, William James, Jane Addams, and W. E. B. Du Bois turned the founders' own words against the empire-builders, warning that the force required to rule subject peoples abroad would corrode the Constitution at home. Their essays, speeches, satires, and poems - including Twain's The War Prayer and King Leopold's Soliloquy - form the core of the anthology, set against Albert Beveridge's 'The March of the Flag,' the imperialist case stated in full. Alongside the polemics stand the literary answers of the period: the verse of William Vaughn Moody, William Dean Howells's story 'Editha,' and Finley Peter Dunne's Mr. Dooley dialogues.This edition adds a section seldom heard in an American collection: the Filipino voices of Emilio Aguinaldo, Apolinario Mabini, and Clemencia López, writing from the receiving end of empire and translated from the original Spanish for this volume.Edited by Lee Raymond for Time Warp Editions, the book follows the anti-imperialist movement from 1898 to 1905 and closes with an essay tracing American empire to the present day. It includes an original critical introduction, 'Patriotic Dissent is the Highest Form of Loyalty,' a biographical directory of every contributor, a historical timeline of the movement, and a guide to further reading.Published for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Against Empire recovers the patriotism the anniversary forgot.…
