But for centuries, whenever the federal government intervened on behalf of nonwhite people, many white Americans fought back in the name of freedom-their freedom to dominate others.    In Freedoms Dominion, prizewinning historian Jefferson Cowie traces this complex saga by focusing on a quintessentially American place: Barbour County, Alabama, the ancestral home of political firebrand George Wallace. In a land shaped by settler colonialism and chattel slavery, freedom became a weapon. With freedom as their cry, white Americans seized Native lands, championed secession, overthrew Reconstruction, questioned the New Deal, and fought against the civil rights movement.    Through a riveting account of two centuries of local clashes between white people and federal authorities, Freedoms Dominion offers a radically new history of federal power, democracy, and American freedom. This history summons us today to embrace a vigorous model of American citizenship, backed by a federal government that is not afraid to fight the many incarnations of the freedom to dominate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972564648224,"sku":"NEW1541605128","price":20.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/freedoms-dominion-winner-of-the-pulitzer-prize-a-saga-of-white-resistance-to-federal-power-1541605128","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
