The meaning of the American Revolution has always been a
much-contested question, and asking it is particularly important
today: the standard, easily digested narrative puts the Founding
Fathers at the head of a unified movement, failing to acknowledge
the deep divisions in Revolutionary-era society and the many
different historical interpretations that have followed. Whose
American Revolution Was It? speaks both to the ways diverse groups
of Americans who lived through the Revolution might have answered
that question and to the different ways historians through the
decades have interpreted the Revolution for our own time. As the
only volume to offer an accessible and sweeping discussion of the
period's historiography and its historians, Whose American
Revolution Was It? is an essential reference for anyone studying
early American history. The first section, by Alfred F. Young,
begins in 1925 with historian J. Franklin Jameson and takes the
reader through the successive schools of interpretation up to the
1990s. The second section, by Gregory H. Nobles, focuses primarily
on the ways present-day historians have expanded our understanding
of the broader social history of the Revolution, bringing onto the
stage farmers and artisans, who made up the majority of white men,
as well as African Americans, Native Americans, and women of all
social classes.
Just over 25 years ago the first laser-excited Raman spectrum of
any crystal was obtained. In November 1964, Hobden and Russell
reported the Raman spectrum of GaP and later, in June 1965, Russell
published the Si spectrum. Then, in July 1965, the forerunner of a
series of meetings on light scattering in solids was held in Paris.
Laser Raman spectroscopy of semiconductors was at the forefront in
new developments at this meeting. Similar meetings were held in
1968 (New York), 1971 (Paris) and 1975 (Campinas). Since then, and
apart from the multidisciplinary biennial International Conference
on Raman Spectroscopy there has been no special forum for experts
in light scattering spectroscopy of semiconductors to meet and
discuss latest developments. Meanwhile, technological advances in
semiconductor growth have given rise to a veritable renaissance in
the field of semiconductor physics. Light scattering spectroscopy
has played a crucial role in the advancement of this field,
providing valuable information about the electronic, vibrational
and structural properties both of the host materials, and of
heterogeneous composite structures. On entering a new decade, one
in which technological advances in lithography promise to open even
broader horirons for semiconductor physics, it seemed to us to be
an ideal time to reflect on the achievements of the past decade, to
be brought up to date on the current state-of-the-art, and to catch
some glimpses of where the field might be headed in the 1990s.
Winner of the MLA Kenneth W. Mildenberger Prize 2005, this
monograph provides a model of the organisation of L2 classroom
interaction and a practical methodology for its analysis. The main
thesis is that there is a reflexive relationship between pedagogy
and interaction in the L2 classroom; this relationship is the
foundation of its context-free architecture. The book explains the
basic principles of Conversation Analysis and reviews the
literature on L2 classroom interaction; portrays the reflexive
relationship between the pedagogical focus of the interaction and
the organisation of turn-taking, sequence and repair; describes the
overall organisation of L2 classroom interaction and illustrates
the use of the analytical methodology; and, considers how

Routledge Applied Linguistics is a series of comprehensive
textbooks, providing students and researchers with the support they
need for advanced study in the core areas of English Language and
Applied Linguistics. Each book in the series guides readers through
three main sections, enabling them to explore and develop major
themes within the discipline. Section A, Introduction, establishes
the key terms and concepts and extends readers' techniques of
analysis through practical application. Section B, Extension,
brings together influential articles, sets them in context, and
discusses their contribution to the field. Section C, Exploration,
builds on knowledge gained in the first two sections, setting
thoughtful tasks around further illustrative material. This enables
readers to engage more actively with the subject matter and
encourages them to develop their own research responses. Throughout
the book, topics are revisited, extended, interwoven and
deconstructed, with the reader's understanding strengthened by
tasks and follow-up questions. Language and Interaction: introduces
key concepts in language and social interaction describes how
individuals develop skills in social interaction and shows how
people create identities through their use of language brings
together essential readings in anthropology, discourse studies and
sociology Written by an experienced teacher and researcher in the
field, Language and Interaction is an essential resource for

Read the Introduction.
"To read these eloquent essays by one of the wisest historians
of our time is to be drawn into a remarkable conversation:
practical, eloquent, decent, and shrewd. Behind Alfred Young's
mesmerizing prose lies dazzling detective work that finds
courageous people in all the fullness of their lives, who made a
revolution as surely as did more famous leaders. Within the lively
stories he tells is also a sharp skepticism of the ways that, over
the years, tales of the Revolution have been spun to serve selfish
political needs. And throughout Al Young's interpretations there
sings a humane vision for our future, as readers of history, as
tourists, and as citizens."
--Linda K. Kerber, author of "No Constitutional Right to Be Ladies:
Women and the Obligations of Citizenship"
"Drawing on his unsurpassed knowledge of the American
Revolution, and his powerful commitment to the idea of 'history
from below, ' Alfred Young gives us a stirring reminder of the role
of 'the people' in the Revolution. He challenges the orthodox
emphasis on the 'great men' of that time, and with vivid
specificity provides an analysis which is subtle, complex, and
bold."
--Howard Zinn, Professor Emeritus, Boston University and author, "A
People's History of the United States"
"The key point that shines through all these essays is how
dependent our hallowed Founding heroes were on the shifting
political alliances they had to form with citizens of lower
economic status in order to provide the leadership we honor them
for today."
--"Washington Times"
"This fascinating collection of essays makes a gripping display
of the American historian's efforts toconstruct a more inclusive,
nuanced vision of the Revolutionary War era. . . . A social
historian committed to rounding out our cultural memory, Young
includes traditionally marginalized groups (women, the poor, the
working class, African Americans and Native Americans), but is
interested neither in adding token representations nor in replacing
the founding fathers. Rather, Young seeks to re-imagine the
Revolutionary War era holistically, and what emerges is not only a
first look at key but forgotten Revolutionary players, but also a
fresh look at figures like Hamilton, Revere and Adams, portrayed
here with a richness and humanity lacking in more celebratory
treatments. Although these are serious academic essays, Young's
prose is clear and concise, and he judiciously relegates the more
technical, scholarly matters to end notes. The result is a work
that will be of equal interest to professional scholars and amateur
historians. "
--"Publishers Weekly"
"Young assists the construction of a fuller historical picture
of the Revolutionary American era by focusing on the common
peopleto gain a more complete understanding of the interplay
between the political and social elite and these groups.Highly
recommended."
--"Choice"
"a][A] wonderfully enlightening and engaging booka].[A]n
invaluable resource for history teachers at all levels."
--"The History Teacher"
"The authors stated objective is a more inclusive history that
unites perspectives from the bottom up and the middle with those
from the top down in order to illuminate the whole. He achieves
that admirably while imparting a sense of extraordinariness to the
contributions of his ordinary performers."
"The NorthCarolina Historical Review"
"Young allows us a fascinating glimpse of what the long
revolutionary period was like for all levels of colonial society.
The book, a collection of essays written over a twenty-year period
manages to make even the familiar new and interesting."
--"International Socialist Review"
"[A] provocative collection of essays.
--"Boston Globe"
"The key point that shines through all these essays is how
dependent our hallowed Founding heroes were on the shifting
political alliances they had to form with citizens of lower
economic status in order to provide the leadership we honor them
for today. . . . It is small wonder that the debate over whether
government should be responsive to, or rather wary of, the mass of
ordinary citizens remains central to American politics to this day.
This book is a valuable tool for understanding that debate."
--"Washington Times"
"In these finely honed essays, Alfred Young brings together more
than a half-century of scholarship on the revolutionary era.
America's E. P. Thompson, Young has done more than any other
historian of his generation to give ordinary people their due as
historical actors of consequence. Deep scholarship, lucid writing,
and a high-spirited sympathy for the people 'out of doors' are the
hallmarks of this massive contribution to our understanding of
Revolutionary America. "
--Gary B. Nash, author of "The Unknown American Revolution: The
Unruly Birth of Democracy and the Struggle to Create America"
With the publication of Liberty Tree, acclaimed historian Alfred
F. Young presents a selection of his seminal writing as well as two
provocative, never-before-published essays. Together, they takethe
reader on a journey through the American Revolution, exploring the
role played by ordinary women and men (called, at the time, people
out of doors) in shaping events during and after the Revolution,
their impact on the Founding generation of the new American nation,
and finally how this populist side of the Revolution has fared in
public memory.
Drawing on a wide range of sources, which include not only
written documents but also material items like powder horns, and
public rituals like parades and tarring and featherings, Young
places ordinary Americans at the center of the Revolution. For
example, in one essay he views the Constitution of 1787 as the
result of an intentional accommodation by elites with non-elites,
while another piece explores the process of ongoing negotiations
would-be rulers conducted with the middling sort; women, enslaved
African Americans, and Native Americans. Moreover, questions of
history and modern memory are engaged by a compelling examination
of icons of the Revolution, such as the pamphleteer Thomas Paine
and Boston's Freedom Trail.
For over forty years, history lovers, students, and scholars
alike have been able to hear the voices and see the actions of
ordinary people during the Revolutionary Era, thanks to Young's
path-breaking work, which seamlessly blends sophisticated analysis
with compelling and accessible prose. From his award-winning work
on mechanics, or artisans, in the seaboard cities of the Northeast
to the all but forgotten liberty tree, a major popular icon of the
Revolution explored in depth for the first time, Young continues to
astound readers as he forges new directions in the history of the
American Revolution.
