Book Review: The Rise And Fall Of The American Whig Party: Jacksonian Politics And The Onset Of The Civil War By Michael Holt, Allen C. Guelzo

Civil War Era Studies Faculty Publications

"An impartial history of American statesmanship will give some of its most brilliant chapters to the Whig party from 1830 to 1850," wrote James G. Blaine in his memoirs. This was not, unhappily, because of a great heritage of political achievement in American public life. The work of the Whigs was, as Blaine admitted, negative and restraining rather than constructive. Still, "if their work cannot be traced in the National statute books as prominently as that of their opponents, they will be credited by the discriminating reader of our political annals as the English of to-day credit Charles James Fox …

[Review Of] Out National Amnesia About Race: A Review Essay Of David Blight's Race And Reunion: The Civil War In American Memory, Jennifer Jensen

Ethnic Studies Review

In Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory, David Blight is not concerned with "developing [a] professional historiography of Civil War" but rather with documenting the ways that "contending memories [of the war] clashed or intermingled in public memory."^1 Blight and others working in the interdisciplinary field of "historical memory" have broadened the scope of historical writing in their insistence that uncovering "what really happened" in the past is but one piece of the historical puzzle.

In Search Of Bernabé: Politicized Motherhood, Fatima Mujicinovic

Ethnic Studies Review

Connecting its storyline to the historical context of the civil war in El Salvador, this US Latina text dramatizes dehumanizing effects of political violence on individual and collective being. With an emphasis on the dialectical connection between the personal and the social, the novel focuses on individual strategies of survival and resistance in conditions of authoritarianism in order to suggest new forms of political opposition and liberation. Its narrative reveals subversive and empowering aspects of the intimate, as the discourse of motherhood and religiosity reclaims its place in the public sphere and takes a direct stance against violence and oppression.
