This overview of the "sister arts" of the nineteenth century by younger scholars in art history, literature, and American studies presents a startling array of perspectives on the fundamental role played by images in culture and society. Drawing on the latest thinking about vision and visuality as well as on recent developments in literary theory and cultural studies, the contributors situate paintings, sculpture, monument art, and literary images within a variety of cultural contexts. The volume offers fresh and sometimes extended discussions of single works as well as reevaluations of artistic and literary conventions and analyses of the economic, social, and technological forces that gave them shape and were influenced by them in turn. A wide range of figures are significantly reassessed, including the painters Charles Willson Peale, Washington Allston, Thomas Cole, George Caleb Bingham, Fitz Hugh Lane, and Mary Cassatt, and such writers as James Fenimore Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry David Thoreau, and William Dean Howells. One overarching theme to emerge is the development of an American national subjectivity as it interacted with the transformation of a culture dominated by religious values to one increasingly influenced by commercial imperatives. The essays probe the ways in which artists and writers responded to the changing conditions of the cultural milieu as it was mediated by such factors as class and gender, modes of perception and representation, and conflicting ideals and realities.
This compact introduction to today's political and economic realities in Africa sets forth a foreign policy to fill the post -Cold War ideological void. From the stable rise of Ghana and Botswana to the violence and disintegration of Sudan and Nigeria, African nations present a wide range of opportunities and problems to which the United States has reacted with little consistency. Drawing lessons from recent events, the authors untangle our perceptions of the continent, offer a penetrating look at the moral and practical concerns that drive American foreign policy, and outline the steps needed to establish positive, not merely reactive, relations between the United States and the nations of Africa.
