Through a reading of periodicals, memoirs, speeches, and fiction from the antebellum period to the Harlem Renaissance, this study reexamines various myths about a U.S. progressive history and about an African American counter history in terms of race, democracy, and citizenship. Reframing 19th century and early 20thcentury AfricanAmerican cultural history from the borderlands of the U.S. empire where many African Americans lived, worked and sought refuge, Knadler argues that these writers developed a complicated and layered transnational and creolized political consciousness that challenged dominant ideas of the nation and citizenship. Writing from multicultural contact zones, these writers forged a 'new black politics'one that anticipated the current debate about national identity and citizenship in a twentyfirst century global society. As Knadler argues, they defined, created, and deployed an alternative political language to reimagine U.S. citizenship and its related ideas of national belonging, patriotism, natural rights, and democratic agency.
