This book emphasizes the centrality of nationhood to Thomas
Jefferson's thought and politics, envisioning Jefferson as a
cultural nationalist whose political project sought the alignment
of the American state system with the will and character of the
nation. Jefferson believed that America was the one nation on earth
able to realize in practice universal ideals to which other peoples
could only aspire. He appears in the book as the essential narrator
of what he once called the American Story: as the historian, the
sociologist, and the ethnographer; the political theorist of the
nation; the most successful practitioner of its politics; and its
most enthusiastic champion. The book argues that reorienting
Jefferson around the concept of American nationhood recovers an
otherwise easily missed coherence to his political career and helps
make sense of a number of conundrums in his thought and practice."
