About the work
Race and the Production of Modern American Nationa (ISBN 9780815320166) investigates how racial categories and nationalist narratives shaped the trajectory of modern America, challenging conventional histories by situating race at the center of national formation and political culture.
Summary
Across a compelling interdisciplinary exploration, the book traces the entanglement of race, citizenship, and state power, revealing how racial ideologies were manufactured, contested, and institutionalized in law, policy, and everyday life. It examines key moments of American history—reconstruction, reform, and the civil rights era—where race was mobilized to authorize governance, redefine belonging, and recalibrate the meaning of national unity. Through critical analysis and comparative perspectives, the work demonstrates that modern American nationhood cannot be understood apart from racial formations and their enduring legacies.
About the author
Scott-Childress and Reynolds J. bring combined expertise in American history, race studies, and political culture, contributing rigorously sourced scholarship that blends archival research with theoretical insight. Their collaborative work centers on how racial construction intersects with national identity, citizenship, and state power, offering readers a nuanced portrait of the United States’ evolving self-understanding. The authors’ distinctive voices synthesize historical detail with contemporary relevance, making complex historiographical debates accessible and thought-provoking.
In brief
The book reveals how race underwrites modern American nationhood, shaping law, policy, and everyday life in enduring ways.
