'American Political Ideas Viewed from the Standpoint of Universal History' is a fascinating analysis of the evolution of American politics in relation to the wider context of political history. In three lectures delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in May 1880, John Fiske explores the development of American government, tracing its lineage from the town-meetings of New England to the leagues of Greek cities and Swiss cantons. Fiske argues that the success of American politics can be measured by its ability to balance local and individual freedom with peaceful concerted action, a problem that has faced civilization since its inception.

When Thomas Gossett's "Race: The History of an Idea in America" appeared in 1963, it explored the impact of race theory on American letters in a way that anticipated the investigation of race and culture being conducted today. Here, reprinted without change, is Gossett's classic study, making available to a new generation of scholars a lucid, accessibly written volume that ranges from colonial race theory and its European antecedents, through eighteenth- and nineteenth-century race psuedoscience, to the racialist dimension of American thought and literature emerging against backgrounds such as Anglo-Saxonism, westward expansion, Social Darwinism, xenophobia, World War I, and modern racial theory. Featuring a new preface by the author, a foreword by series editors Shelley Fisher Fishkin and Arnold Rampersad, and a bibliographic essay by Maghan Keita, this indispensable book, whose first edition helped change the way scholars discussed race, will richly reward scholars of American Studies, American Literature, and African-American Studies. -- From publisher's description.
