Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Winner of the 2007 First Book Prize of the Modern Language Association.Innovative in its scope and conceptual frameworks, Creole America reveals how literary culture in the New Republic period is formed not only by expansionist designs on the North American continent but also by a push for commercial empire in the hemisphere via the roots and routes of the West Indian trades.As Washington's Secretary of the Treasury, the chief architect of the United States as an 'empire for commerce,' West Indian immigrant Alexander Hamilton came to embody the great uneasiness that many Americans expressed about the unpredictable, and potentially disastrous, effects on the nation and national character of extensive relations between the slave colonies of the West Indies and the putatively free and democratic states of the independent mainland. Sean X. Goudie examines such anxiety and ambivalence as characteristic of what he provocatively terms the New Republic's 'creole complex.'Across an impressive array of genres and textsstate papers, empire tracts and political pamphlets, natural histories, autobiographies, lyric poetry, drama, and prose fictionGoudie demonstrates how distinctions between U.S. and West Indian bodies and commodities blur amid ongoing U.S. participation in the treacherous West Indian trades. Creole America thus compels readers to come facetoface with disturbing affiliations between U.S. and West Indian creole characters and cultures at the turn of the nineteenth century.
