In this revelatory and genuinely groundbreaking study, Francois
Furstenberg sheds new light on the genesis of American identity.
Immersing us in the publishing culture of the early nineteenth
century, he shows us how the words of George Washington and others
of his generation became America's sacred scripture and provided
the foundation for a new civic culture?one whose reconciliation
with slavery unleashed consequences that haunt us still. A dazzling
work of scholarship from a brilliant young historian, "In the Name
of the Father" is a major contribution to American social history.
