Political and social realities of the 19th century (immigration, slavery, westward expansion, indigenous treaties, financial panics, etc.) amplified anxieties about threats to national/state sovereignty. Rochelle Zuck argues that, in the decades between the ratification of the Constitution and the publication of Sutton Griggs's novel Imperium in Imperio in 1899, four racial and ethnic populations were most often referred to as nations within the nation: African Americans, Cherokees, Irish Americans, and Chinese Americans. Writers and orators from these groups engaged the concept of divided sovereignty to assert individual, communal, and national sovereignty (not just ethnic or racial identity), to gain political traction, and to complicate existing formations of nationhood and citizenship. Their stories intersected with issues that dominated 19th-century public argument and contributed to the Civil War. In five chapters focused on these groups, Zuck reveals how constructions of sovereignty shed light on a host of concerns including regional and sectional tensions; territorial expansion and jurisdiction; economic uncertainty; racial, ethnic, and religious differences; international relations; immigration; and arguments about personhood, citizenship, and nationhood"--Provided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 648 7 1800-1899|2fast 650 0 American literature|xMinority authors|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Sovereignty in literature. 650 0 Political culture|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Citizenship|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Nationalism|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Sovereignty|xSocial aspects|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Minorities|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xDiscrimination & Race Relations.|2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xMinority Studies.|2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xEthnic Studies|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 American literature|xMinority authors.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00807213 650 7 Citizenship.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00861909 650 7 Ethnic relations.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 Minorities.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01023088 650 7 Nationalism.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 Political culture.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Race relations.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 Sovereignty in literature.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01127385 650 7 Sovereignty|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01127384 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y19th century. 651 0 United States|xEthnic relations|xHistory|y19th century. 651 0 United States|xRace relations|xHistory|y19th century. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aZuck, Rochelle Raineri.|tDivided sovereignties.|dAthens : The University of Georgia Press, 2016|z9780820345420|z0820345423|w(DLC) 2015043950 |w(OCoLC)921863946 914 ocn951551777 994 92|bGTK
