The Anti-Rent Era in New York Law and Politics, 1839-1865 - Charles W. Mccurdy - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

The Anti-Rent Era in New York Law and Politics, 1839-1865 - Charles W. Mccurdy - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

A compelling blend of legal and political history, this book chronicles the largest tenant rebellion in U.S. history. From its beginning in the rural villages of eastern New York in 1839 until its collapse in 1865, the Anti-Rent movement impelled the state''s governors, legislators, judges, and journalists, as well as delegates to New York''s bellwether constitutional convention of 1846, to wrestle with two difficult problems of social policy. One was how to put down violent tenant resistance to the enforcement of landlord property and contract rights. The second was how to abolish the archaic form of land tenure at the root of the rent strike.Charles McCurdy considers the public debate on these questions from a fresh perspective. Instead of treating law and politics as dependent variables--as mirrors of social interests or accelerators of social change--he highlights the manifold ways in which law and politics shaped both the pattern of Anti-Rent violence and the drive for land reform. In the process, he provides a major reinterpretation of the ideas and institutions that diminished the promise of American democracy in the supposed "golden age" of American law and politics.

The Other Founders - Saul Cornell - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

The Other Founders - Saul Cornell - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Fear of centralized authority is deeply rooted in American history. The struggle over the U.S. Constitution in 1788 pitted the Federalists, supporters of a stronger central government, against the Anti-Federalists, the champions of a more localist vision of politics. But, argues Saul Cornell, while the Federalists may have won the battle over ratification, it is the ideas of the Anti-Federalists that continue to define the soul of American politics.While no Anti-Federalist party emerged after ratification, Anti-Federalism continued to help define the limits of legitimate dissent within the American constitutional tradition for decades. Anti-Federalist ideas also exerted an important influence on Jeffersonianism and Jacksonianism. Exploring the full range of Anti-Federalist thought, Cornell illustrates its continuing relevance in the politics of the early Republic.A new look at the Anti-Federalists is particularly timely given the recent revival of interest in this once neglected group, notes Cornell. Now widely reprinted, Anti-Federalist writings are increasingly quoted by legal scholars and cited in Supreme Court decisions--clear proof that their authors are now counted among the ranks of America''s founders.

Protecting America's Health - Philip J. Hilts - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Protecting America's Health - Philip J. Hilts - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

In this history of the Food and Drug Administration, Philip J. Hilts analyzes the century-long, continuing struggle to establish scientific standards as the basis for policymaking on food and drugs. The agency, which emerged out of the era of the robber barons' and Theodore Roosevelt's desire to ""civilize capitalism,"" was created to stop the trade in adulterated meats and quack drugs. In addition to highlighting the essential role the FDA plays in making sure that food and drugs are safe and effective, Protecting America's Health shows that FDA regulation, far from stifling innovation - as critics feared - has actually accelerated it.

The World in a Skillet - Paul Knipple - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

The World in a Skillet - Paul Knipple - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Paul and Angela Knipple''s culinary tour of the contemporary American South celebrates the flourishing of global food traditions "down home." Drawing on the authors'' firsthand interviews and reportage from Richmond to Mobile and enriched by a cornucopia of photographs and original recipes, the book presents engaging, poignant profiles of a host of first-generation immigrants from all over the world who are cooking their way through life as professional chefs, food entrepreneurs and restaurateurs, and home cooks. Beginning the tour with an appreciation of the South''s foundational food traditions--including Native American, Creole, African American, and Cajun--the Knipples tell the fascinating stories of more than forty immigrants who now call the South home. Not only do their stories trace the continuing evolution of southern foodways, they also show how food is central to the immigrant experience. For these skillful, hardworking immigrants, food provides the means for both connecting with the American dream and maintaining cherished ethnic traditions. Try Father Vien''s Vietnamese-style pickled mustard greens, Don Felix''s pork ribs, Elizabeth Kizito''s Ugandan-style plantains in peanut sauce, or Uli Bennevitz''s creamy beer soup and taste the world without stepping north of the Mason-Dixon line.
