Zusammenfassung: | "The Midwest has been characterized as an excellent seedbed for the germination of great thinkers, but a wasteland for their further growth. This collection reveals that representation to be false. More than just a springboard for the careers of future expatriates, the region has cultivated extraordinary intellectuals and allowed for the cross-pollination of a diversity of ideas. It has also been the site of shifting interpretations-to some a frontier, to others a colonized space, a breadbasket, a crossroads, a heartland-and the tensions between those interpretations are made evident in this collection. These twenty-two essays contribute to recent revivals of interest in both Midwestern history and intellectual history. Spanning the era from the early 1800s to the late 1900s and covering nearly the entire Midwestern region, the essays examine individual thinkers, writers, and leaders-from four Anishinaabeg intellectuals who resisted settler colonialism to historian Frederick Jackson Turner, and from evangelist Charles G. Finney to regional writer Mari Sandoz-as well as movements and ideas that shaped the Midwest, including rural school consolidation, women's literary societies, Progressive-era urban planning, and Midwestern radical liberalism. While disparate in subject and style, these essays taken together establish the irrefutable significance of the intellectual history of the American Midwest"-- |

Dorman George McGovern : an intellectual in politics John Miller "The Midwest has been characterized as an excellent seedbed for the germination of great thinkers, but a wasteland for their further growth. This collection reveals that representation to be false. More than just a springboard for the careers of future expatriates, the region has cultivated extraordinary intellectuals and allowed for the cross-pollination of a diversity of ideas. It has also been the site of shifting interpretations-to some a frontier, to others a colonized space, a breadbasket, a crossroads, a heartland-and the tensions between those interpretations are made evident in this collection. These twenty-two essays contribute to recent revivals of interest in both Midwestern history and intellectual history. Spanning the era from the early 1800s to the late 1900s and covering nearly the entire Midwestern region, the essays examine individual thinkers, writers, and leaders-from four Anishinaabeg intellectuals who resisted settler colonialism to historian Frederick Jackson Turner, and from evangelist Charles G. Finney to regional writer Mari Sandoz-as well as movements and ideas that shaped the Midwest, including rural school consolidation, women's literary societies, Progressive-era urban planning, and Midwestern radical liberalism. While disparate in subject and style, these essays taken together establish the irrefutable significance of the intellectual history of the American Midwest"-- Geschichte 1865-2010 gnd rswk-swf Geistesleben (DE-588)4274490-8 gnd rswk-swf USA Mittlerer Westen (DE-588)4074909-5 gnd rswk-swf Intellectuals / Middle West / History Middle West / Intellectual life Middle West / History Middle West / Civilization Civilization Intellectual life Intellectuals Middle West History (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content USA Mittlerer Westen (DE-588)4074909-5 g Geistesleben (DE-588)4274490-8 s Geschichte 1865-2010 z DE-604 Hogan, Joseph 1992- (DE-588)1230349693 edt Lauck, Jon 1971- (DE-588)1011418290 edt Murphy, Paul V. 1957- (DE-588)134249690 edt Seal, Andrew 1984- edt Whitney, Gleaves edt Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 9780870209499 |
