An \"important, deeply affecting-and regrettably relevant\" ( New York Times Book Review ) chronicle of a sinister idea of freedom: white Americans' freedom to oppress others and their fight against the government that got in their way  American freedom is typically associated with the fight of the oppressed for a better world. But for centuries, whenever the federal government intervened on behalf of non-white people, many white Americans fought back in the name of freedom-their freedom to dominate others. In  Freedom's 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,  Freedom's 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.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48639815024859,"sku":"9781541605121-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/43217ff6-a72b-46c1-b043-45680839f5c2_89c5ef47-a60f-48da-a9b4-be43d12291c8.jpg?v=1776920944","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781541605121-secondhand-freedoms-dominion-winner-of-the-pulitzer-prize-a-saga-of-white","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
