The idea that American historical development is different from
that of other nations is an old one, yet it shows no sign of losing
its emotive power. 'Exceptionalism' continues to excite, beguile,
and frustrate students of the American past. The essays in this
volume explore the ways in which the process of class formation in
the United States can be said to be distinctive. Focusing upon the
impact of liberal political thought, race and immigration, and the
role of the war-time state, they challenge particularist and
nation-centred modes of explanation. Comparing American historical
development with Italian, South African, and Australian examples,
the essays reinvigorate a tired debate.
