Zusatztext An intriguing study of America's rise as an imperial power...Harris, author of two books and many articles on Mark Twain, is in top form. In her able telling, Twain was a man on a mission. He had become a critic of the very ideology to which he had long been captive: the grand narrative of American supremacy and conquest...For a very long time, Americans have resisted recognizing and confronting their imperial impulses and admitting to the massive footprints they've left here and there around the globe. Harris's timely study reveals that these footprints have deep historical and ideological roots. Informationen zum Autor Susan K. Harris is Hall Distinguished Professor of American Literature and Culture at the University of Kansas. She is the author of The Cultural Work of the Late Nineteenth-Century Hostess: Annie Adams Fields and Mary Gladstone Drew (Palgrave, 2002) and The Courtship of Olivia Langdon and Mark Twain (Cambridge UP, 1997), among other works. Klappentext God's Arbiters provides a rich cultural history of Americans' attitudes toward empire-building in the wake of the Philippine-American War, illustrating how the conflict affected views of U.S. imperialism at the turn of the twentieth century. Zusammenfassung God's Arbiters provides a rich cultural history of Americans' attitudes toward empire-building in the wake of the Philippine-American War, illustrating how the conflict affected views of U.S. imperialism at the turn of the twentieth century.
