Description

Across the course of American history, imperialism and anti-imperialism have been awkwardly paired as influences on the politics, culture, and diplomacy of the United States. The Declaration of Independence, after all, is an anti-imperial document, cataloguing the sins of the metropolitan government against the colonies. With the Revolution, and again in 1812, the nation stood against the most powerful empire in the world and declared itself independent. As noted by Ian Tyrrell and Jay Sexton, however, American "anti-imperialism was clearly selective, geographically, racially, and constitutionally." Empire's Twin broadens our conception of anti-imperialist actors, ideas, and actions; it charts this story across the range of American history, from the Revolution to our own era; and it opens up the transnational and global dimensions of American anti-imperialism.By tracking the diverse manifestations of American anti-imperialism, this book highlights the different ways in which historians can approach it in their research and teaching. The contributors cover a wide range of subjects, including the discourse of anti-imperialism in the Early Republic and Civil War, anti-imperialist actions in the U.S. during the Mexican Revolution, the anti-imperial dimensions of early U.S. encounters in the Middle East, and the transnational nature of anti-imperialist public sentiment during the Cold War and beyond.

Acknowledgments

In the course of editing this book, we have incurred the usual debts and then some. We would ﬁrst like to thank the Rothermere American Insti tute at Oxford University, which hosted the 2011 conference that launched this project. Without the support of Nigel Bowles, Jane Rawson, and Laura Harvey, the conference, and hence this book, would not have been possible. Further thanks are due to the Oxford Fell Fund and the Oxford History Faculty, both of which generously provided funding. Logistical support came from Queens College and Corpus Christi College. Thanks must also go to the benefactors of the Harold Vyvyan Harmsworth Chair in American History at Oxford, a position that Ian Tyrrell occupied for the academic year 2010–11. Thisbookismuchmorethanarevisedsetofconferencepapers.Severalindividuals were unable for a variety of reasons to proceed to the ﬁnal vol ume; and we have included chapters by new contributors Jeffrey Ostler and Laura Belmonte, both of whom have been outstanding in their timely col laboration with us. We have, ourselves, also written a ﬁnal chapter dealing synoptically with post1945 American antiimperialism.

papers. We also extend our thanks to Elizabeth Borgwardt, Amy Kaplan, Francis Shor, and Frank Ninkovich, all of whom made important con tributions to this project. The project was enriched by the comments of Gareth Davies, John Thompson, Nicholas Guyatt, and Dan Scroop. Steve Tuffnell provided tireless assistance for the conference and book, for which we are grateful. Thanks also goes to Skye Montgomery for producing the index. The editors of the series “The United States in the World” and the anonymous readers for Cornell University Press have made this volume possible with their insightful critiques and encouragement, as has Cornell University Press’s Michael McGandy.
