| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (p. 179-197) and index Introduction : domesticating foreign struggles -- Of American mentors and foreign pupils : the cultural work of republican pedagogy -- Of revolutions and commerce : the imperial vistas of political philanthropy -- An American Jeremiah in Rome : Margaret Fuller's Tribune dispatches -- Republican debates I : the color of the Republic -- Republican debates II : the religion of the Republic -- Epilogue : revolution and immigration "When antebellum Americans talked about the contemporary struggle for Italian unification (the Risorgimento), they were often saying more about themselves than about Italy. In Domesticating Foreign Struggles Paola Gemme examines the American cultural record on the Risorgimento not only to make sense of the U.S. engagement with the broader world but also to understand the nation's domestic preoccupations." "Writing in a tradition pioneered by Amy Kaplan, Richard Slotkin, and others, Gemme advances the movement to "internationalize" American studies by situating the United States in its global cultural context."--Jacket |
