Описание: America`s First Soldiers unfolds with the critical events and people that lead Massachusetts to initiate the American Revolutionary War. These first soldiers were the catalyst for the skirmish at Lexington Green, the battle of the Old North Bridge, and the life and death struggle along a 16-mile road, passing through six Massachusetts towns in a violent, running battle of fire and maneuver. Dig in on the deadly struggle for a Boston hilltop, Breed`s Hill, known as Bunker Hill. For the British Army, it was the deadliest battle of the American Revolutionary War. This battle, more than any other event, created the moment Massachusetts and the other colonies realized the American Revolution had begun. Meet a young Boston bookseller who believed he could bomb the mighty British army out of Boston. He became Washington`s Yankee, standing with him from Boston to victory at Yorktown. He was the man General Washington personally chose to succeed him as the Continental Army`s commanding general. America`s First Soldiers is the account of extraordinary men whose defeat of the British was so thorough, that during the eight-year struggle of the American Revolutionary War the British never again fought in Massachusetts. Part 1 of this book chronicles America`s First Soldiers. Part 2 visits some of the well-preserved and fascinating sites in Massachusetts as a 21st-century historical tourist. This book uncovers the hidden story of the men from Massachusetts-America`s First Soldiers.

Описание: Uncovers the long history of how Latino manhood was integral to the formation of Latino identity
In the first ever book-length study of Latino manhood before the Civil Rights Movement, Before Chicano examines Mexican American print culture to explore how conceptions of citizenship and manhood developed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The year 1848 saw both the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo that ended the U.S. Mexican War and the year of the Seneca Falls Convention, the first organized conference on women's rights in the United States. These concurrent events signaled new ways of thinking about U.S. citizenship, and placing these historical moments into conversation with the archive of Mexican American print culture, Varon offers an expanded temporal frame for Mexican Americans as long-standing participants in U.S. national projects.
Pulling from a wide-variety of familiar and lesser-known works--from fiction and newspapers to government documents, images, and travelogues--Varon illustrates how Mexican Americans during this period envisioned themselves as U.S. citizens through cultural depictions of manhood. Before Chicano reveals how manhood offered a strategy to disparate Latino communities across the nation to imagine themselves as a cohesive whole--as Mexican Americans--and as political agents in the U.S. Though the Civil Rights Movement is typically recognized as the origin point for the study of Latino culture, Varon pushes us to consider an intellectual history that far predates the late twentieth century, one that is both national and transnational. He expands our framework for imagining Latinos' relationship to the U.S. and to a past that is often left behind.

Описание: Based on the star-studded Netflix series debuting in September 2020, the riveting story of the fight for equality
Equality. Citizenship. Due process. The Founding Fathers never imagined a nation where these rights would belong to everyone. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in the aftermath of the Civil War, changed all that--sparking a radical vision of an inclusive America, where all citizens enjoyed equal protection of the law, and setting the stage for the most important and contentious political experiment the world has ever seen.
Based on noted filmmaker Robe Imbriano's extraordinary six-part Netflix series, featuring an all-star cast led by Will Smith, Amend chronicles the remarkable story of the Constitution "fix" at the heart of the struggle for equal rights for African Americans in the nineteeth century, which became the basis for the battle for racial equality, women's equality, marriage equality, and immigrant rights today. This highly accessible account combines brief narrative text with riveting interview excerpts and stunning documentary photographs, bringing the essential story to life in book form.
Featuring an extensive introductory historical essay by award-winning constitutional scholar Garrett Epps and chapters covering the full historical journey of the Fourteenth Amendment, Amend explores 150 years' worth of battles in our homes, streets, and courtrooms, to show how the fulfillment of "equal protection" is one of the great unfinished projects of American history.
