Abraham Lincoln in the Post-Heroic Era - History and Memory in Late Twentieth - Century America. History and Memory in Late Twentieth-Century America

University of Chicago Press, 2009. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 384. By the 1920s, Abraham Lincoln had transcended the lingering controversies of the Civil War to become a secular saint, honored in the North and South alike. Throughout the Great Depression and World War II, Lincoln was invoked as a reminder of America's strength and wisdom, a commanding ideal against which weary citizens could see their own hardships in perspective.But as Barry Schwartz reveals in Abraham Lincoln in the Post-Heroic Era , those years represent the apogee of Lincoln's prestige. The decades following World War II brought radical changes to American culture, changes that led to the diminishing of all heroes - Lincoln not least among them. As Schwartz explains, growing sympathy for the plight of racial minorities, disenchantment with the American state, and an intensifying celebration of diversity all contributed to a culture in which neither Lincoln nor any single person could be a heroic symbol for all Americans. Paradoxically, however, the very culture that made Lincoln an object of indifference, questioning, criticism, and even ridicule was a culture of unprecedented beneficence and inclusion, where racial, ethnic, and religious groups treated one another more fairly and justly than ever before. Thus, as the prestige of the Great Emancipator shrank, his legacy of equality continued to flourish.Schwartz documents the decline of Lincoln's public standing, asking throughout whether there is any path back from this post-heroic era. Can a new generation of Americans embrace again their epic past, including great leaders whom they know to be flawed? As the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial approaches, readers will discover here a stirring reminder that Lincoln, as a man, still has much to say to us - about our past, our present, and our possible futures.

Abraham Lincoln, Over Mezelf. Wat ik aan president Obama wil vertellen

Borgerhoff & Lamberigts, 2009. Paperback. Pp: 199. Als er één Amerikaanse president is aan wie Barack Obama zich graag spiegelde tijdens zijn campagne, is het wel Abraham Lincoln. Obama liet zich in zijn speeches meer dan eens lovend uit over zijn illustere voorganger: �"œDeze man rees op uit zijn achtergrond van armoede en bescheidenheid, en groeide door zijn visie en zijn energie uit tot een icoon van ons land en een voorbeeld voor ons allen.�"� Abraham Lincoln was een selfmade advocaat uit Springfield, Illinois. Hij had groot redenaarstalent, maar geen ervaring in de nationale politiek. Zijn partij had hem tot afgrijzen van sommigen en ongeloof van velen als kandidaat voor het presidentschap aangeduid. Toen hij tenslotte naar het Witte Huis vertrok was hij het levende bewijs dat iedereen, ongeacht achtergrond of ras, het recht heeft om zijn toekomst te verbeteren. De levensloop van Lincoln, de man die Amerika als slavenvrije natie uit de burgeroorlog haalde, lijkt opvallend op het parcours van president Obama. Wat kan hij van Lincoln leren? Schuilt er een geheim in Lincolns leiderschap? Lincoln schreef nooit graag over zichzelf, maar nu, op zijn tweehonderdste geboortedag, maakt hij een uitzondering. Met dit boek geeft hij u inzage in zijn leven. Geschiedenis zoals u ze nooit eerder las. ISBN: 9789089310453. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
