Seymour Richard - American Insurgents A Brief History Of Anti - Imperialism In The Us - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: All empires spin self - serving myths and in the US the most potent of these is that America is a force for democracy around the world. Yet there is a tradition of American anti - imperialism that exposes this misleading mythology. American Insurgents is a surprising revelatory history of anti - imperialism in the United States since the American Revolution. It charts the movements against empire from the Indian Wars and the expansionism of the slave South to the Anti - Imperialist League of Mark Twain and Jane Addams. Seymour crafts a lively and transparent explanation of why some of these movements succeeded and others failed. The result is a vital perspective for those organizing antiwar resistance today.
