Reframing 19th century and early 20th-century African-American 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 twenty-first century global society. As Knadler argues, they defined, created, and deployed an alternative political language to re-imagine U.S. citizenship and its related ideas of national belonging, patriotism, natural rights, and democratic agency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930803962144,"sku":"NEW0415996317","price":300.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/remapping-citizenship-and-the-nation-in-african-american-literature-routledge-transnational-perspectives-on-american-literature-0415996317","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
