For more than a generation, historians and legal scholars have
documented inequalities at the heart of American law and daily life
and exposed inconsistencies in the generic category of 'American
citizenship'. Welke draws on that wealth of historical, legal, and
theoretical scholarship to offer a new paradigm of liberal selfhood
and citizenship from the founding of the United States through the
1920s. Law and the Borders of Belonging in the Long Nineteenth
Century United States questions understanding this period through a
progressive narrative of expanding rights, revealing that it was
characterized instead by a sustained commitment to borders of
belonging of liberal selfhood, citizenship, and nation in which
able white men's privilege depended on the subject status of
disabled persons, racialized others, and women. Welke's conclusions
pose challenging questions about the modern liberal democratic
state that extend well beyond the temporal and geographic
boundaries of the long-nineteenth-century United States.
