The Doom of Reconstruction: The Liberal Republicans in the Civil War Era
ISBN: 9780823227099 / Angielski / Twarda / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Election of 1872 the conflict between President U. S. Grant and Horace Greeley has been typically understood as a battle for the soul of the ruling Republican Party. In this innovative study, Andrew Slap argues forcefully that the campaign was more than a narrow struggle between Party elites and a class-based radical reform movement. The election, he demonstrates, had broad consequences: in their opposition to widespread Federal corruption, Greeley Republicans unintentionally doomed Reconstruction of any kind, even as they lost the election. Based on close readings of newspapers, party...

South Carolina Scalawags tells the familiar story of Reconstruction from a mostly unfamiliar vantage point, that of white southerners who broke ranks and supported the newly recognized rights and freedoms of their black neighbors.

Composed primarily of former slaves, the burgeoning party also attracted the membership of newly arrived northern...

Beyond Redemption: Texas Democrats After Reconstruction
ISBN: 9781585445738 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the end of Reconstruction, the old order reasserted itself, to varying degrees, throughout the former Confederate states. This period--Redemption, as it was called--was crucial in establishing the structures and alliances that dominated the Solid South until at least the mid-twentieth century. Texas shared in this, but because of its distinctive antebellum history, its western position within the region, and the large influx of new residents that poured across its borders, it followed its own path toward Redemption. Now, historian Patrick G. Williams provides a dual study of the...

The End of Parliamentary Socialism: From New Left to New Labour
ISBN: 9781859843383 / Angielski / Miękka / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This trenchant account of the last twenty-five years of the British Labour Party argues that Tony Blair's modernizing tendency was profoundly mistaken in believing that the only alternative to traditional social democracy was an acceptance of neo-liberalism. The impasse reached in constitutional reform, the retreat from the promise of open government, and the erosion of Labour's support amongst the electorate, flow directly from this fateful choice. In this new edition, the authors, in collaboration with Daivd Coates, review the debate in light of the Blair government's first three years in...
