The mythmakers of US expansion have expressed “manifest destiny” in many different ways—and so have its many discontents. A multidisciplinary study that delves into these contrasts and contradictions, Inventing Destiny offers a broad yet penetrating cultural history of nineteenth-century US territorial acquisition—a history that gives voice to the underrepresented actors who significantly complicated US narratives of empire, from Native Americans and Anglo-American women to anti- and non-national expansionists. The contributors—established and emerging scholars from history, American studies, literary studies, art history, and religious studies—make use of source materials and techniques as various as artwork, religion, geospatial analysis, interior colonialism, and storytelling alongside fresh readings of traditional historical texts. In doing so, they seek to illuminate the complexities rather than simplify, to transgress borders rather than redraw them, and to amplify the under-told stories rather than repeat the old ones. Their work identifies and explores the obscure—or obscured—fictions of expansion, seeking a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of culture creation and recognizing those who resisted US territorial aggrandizement. In sum, Inventing Destiny demonstrates the value of cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of the multiple rationales, critiques, interventions, and contingencies of nineteenth-century US expansion.

Semua berawal dari perjodohan yang kuanggap konyol untuk dilaksanakan. Jujur, aku tak pernah membayangkan sedikitpun untuk duduk di pelaminan dengannya. Ditambah lagi merasakan cinta dan kasih sayang sebagai pria dan wanita bersamanya. It’s impossible! Karena bagiku, dia adalah seorang pelindung. Seseorang yang sangat dekat denganku dari kecil. Seseorang yang selalu mengajakku mengobrol bahkan ketika aku masih berada di dalam rahim mamaku. Kisah hidup dan cerita cinta seorang Keira pun dimulai dari sini. Dari perjodohan yang akhirnya berujung pada pernikahan. Kisah klasik yang dibumbui dengan konflik masa lalu yang membuat pernikahanku diambang kehancuran. Namun, berkat masa lalu itu jugalah aku dan dia merasakan arti dari pernikahan yang sesungguhnya. Penerbit: Kubus Media

A reinterpretation of a key moment in the political history of the United States—and of the Americans who sought to decouple American ideals from US territory. Published in Cooperation with the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University Most Americans know that the state of Texas was once the Republic of Texas—an independent sovereign state that existed from 1836 until its annexation by the United States in 1846. But few are aware that thousands of Americans, inspired by Texas, tried to establish additional sovereign states outside the borders of the early American republic. In Breakaway Americas, Thomas Richards, Jr., examines six such attempts and the groups that supported them: "patriots" who attempted to overthrow British rule in Canada; post-removal Cherokees in Indian Territory; Mormons first in Illinois and then the Salt Lake Valley; Anglo-American overland immigrants in both Mexican California and Oregon; and, of course, Anglo-Americans in Texas. Though their goals and methods varied, Richards argues that these groups had a common mindset: they were not expansionists. Instead, they hoped to form new, independent republics based on the "American values" that they felt were no longer recognized in the United States: land ownership, a strict racial hierarchy, and masculinity. Exposing nineteenth-century Americans' lack of allegiance to their country, which at the time was plagued with economic depression, social disorder, and increasing sectional tension, Richards points us toward a new understanding of American identity and Americans as a people untethered from the United States as a country. Through its wide focus on a diverse array of American political practices and ideologies, Breakaway Americas will appeal to anyone interested in the Jacksonian United States, US politics, American identity, and the unpredictable nature of history.

Carr (English, U. of London) examines literary and anthropological writings that describe, inscribe, translate, and transform Native American myths and poetry to conform with mainstream American society's conception of the primitive. She draws on post-colonial and feminist theory and the recent textual turn of ethnography. The story she finds is taut with the contradiction of trying to preserve a culture while ruthlessly destroying it. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Destiny offers the vision of a positive future for humanity and a practical blueprint for how to achieve a sustainable, peaceful, and just global community. At this most important moment in human history, technology is giving us the power to remake the world into a garden of plenty. At the same time, we face dark, existential crises-climate catastrophe, the continuing threat of nuclear weapons, futile reliance on achieving "security" through military escalation, and the horror of global pandemics, as examples.What do these problems have in common? Their solutions require global cooperation beyond national boundaries. We must cooperate to survive, and we must prioritize global well-being above tribal or national advantage. The challenge is stark: we learn to live together, or we die together. And we are the agents who decide the future of our planet.We must create conditions for all our citizens to thrive and contribute to the well-being of our world-through just structures of government; rich, diverse cultural milieux; and high quality-of-life conditions for everyone.This book addresses questions of human nature, ethics, and the role religion plays on the road to destiny. We discern universal human values at the basis of each of the world's major religions and in secular ethical systems. These deepest values support the formation of a global culture-and eventually a world government-that cherishes and supports our common humanity while celebrating our differences. The first part of the book presents the vision and explores the human traits and accomplishments that have created our problems, the seeds of their solutions, and new clarity about the path toward our goals. The later chapters move from vision to action, from perspective to practical prescription, from challenge to change-to fulfill our destiny as a single world community living in peace and prosperity, with justice for all.Destiny is potentially life-changing. It offers fresh perspectives on our purpose for living and practical inspiration to get more deeply engaged with our world and its future.

“Her book offers many insights into the criminality of Native people, as well as that of women or anyone else who is poor and oppressed.” —Canadian Woman Studies Luana Ross writes, “Native Americans disappear into Euro-American institutions of confinement at alarming rates. People from my reservation appeared to simply vanish and magically return. [As a child] I did not realize what a ‘real’ prison was and did not give it any thought. I imagined this as normal; that all families had relatives who went away and then returned.” In this pathfinding study, Ross draws upon the life histories of imprisoned Native American women to demonstrate how race/ethnicity, gender, and class contribute to the criminalizing of various behaviors and subsequent incarceration rates. Drawing on the Native women’s own words, she reveals the violence in their lives prior to incarceration, their respective responses to it, and how those responses affect their eventual criminalization and imprisonment. Comparisons with the experiences of white women in the same prison underline the significant role of race in determining women’s experiences within the criminal justice system. “Professor Ross, through painstaking phenomenological analysis, has unmasked some of the ways in which (race, class, and gender) prejudices, and their internalization by individuals targeted by them, exert enormous influence on the processes and outcomes of the American criminal justice system . . . This book will be of tremendous import to a broad, interdisciplinary audience.” —Franke Wilmer, Associate Professor of Political Science, Montana State University
