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.
