Dislocating Race & Nation

Episodes in Nineteenth-century American Literary Nationalism

American literary nationalism is traditionally understood as a cohesive literary tradition developed in the newly independent United States that emphasized the unique features of America and consciously differentiated American literature from British lite

It is generally acknowledged that Charles Bro ckden Brown was an American
literary nationalist. In his oft-cited prefatory note to Edgar Huntly (1799), he called
on American writers to address “the condition of our country,” maintaining that “
the field ofinvestigation, opened to us by our own country, should differ
essentially from those which exist in Europe.” Among the “new views” open to the
American writer, he stated somewhat self-servingly, were “incidents of Indian
hostility, and the ...

Conspiracy and Romance

Studies in Brockden Brown, Cooper, Hawthorne, and Melville

Robert Levine examines the American romance in a new historical context. His book offers a fresh reading of the genre, establishing its importance to American culture between the founding of the Republic and the Civil War. With convincing historical and literary detail, Levine shows that anxieties about foreign elements--French revolutionaries, secret societies, Catholic immigrants, African slaves--are central to the fictional worlds of Brockden Brown, Cooper, Hawthorne and Melville. Ormond, The Bravo, The Blithedale Romance, and Benito Cereno are persuasively explicated by Levine to demonstrate that the romance dramatized the same conflicts and ideals that gave rise to the American Republic. Americans conceived "America" as a historical romance, and their romances dramatize the historical conditions of the culture. The fear that reputed conspiracies would subvert the order and integrity of the new nation were recurrent and widespread; Levine illuminates the influence of such fears on the works of major romance writers during this period.

Villainy and Vulnerability in Charles Brockden Brown's Ormond We are
frequently in most danger when we deem ourselves most safe, and our fortress is
taken sometimes through a point, whose weakness nothing, it should seem, but
the blindest stupidity, could overlook. Brown, Memoirs ofCarwin Charles
Brockden Brown's novels abound with mysterious villains who for a variety of
reasons have fled Europe and emigrated to America. Wanderers in the shifting
terrain of his fiction, they ...

Enriching Children, Enriching the Nation

Public Investment in High-quality Prekindergarten

Research is increasingly demonstrating that the policy of investing in high-quality prekindergarten programs provides a wide array of significant benefits to children, families, and society as a whole, including job creation, inequality reduction, education and health care improvement, and reduced crime rates. In a new EPI book, Enriching Children, Enriching the Nation: Public Investment in High-Quality Prekindergarten, Robert G. Lynch examines the costs and benefits of both a targeted and a universal prekindergarten program and shows the positive impact of these programs on the economy, federal and state budgets, crime, and the educational achievement and earnings of children and adults.

Strategic Reward Management

Design, Implementation, and Evaluation

This book is a summary in a readings format of what the author has learned about strategic-reward systems. The collected material draws heavily on empirical research to guide the author's conclusions. The book contains 26 articles, which are divided into 10 topical areas: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Pay and the Changing Business Context"; (3) "Pay in New Business Environments"; (4) "Strategic Pay Issues"; (5) "From Job Evaluation to Work Evaluation"; (6) "Team Pay"; (7) "Merit Pay Revisited"; (8) "Competency Pay"; (9) "Pay System Evaluation"; and (10) "Conclusions & The Future of Strategic Rewards." In order for strategic-reward programs to be effective, they must be carefully managed. The design, implementation, and evaluation issues raised in this book need to be carefully considered. Plans need to be administered in a manner consistent with their intent. Reward systems are doomed to fail when they are taken off the shelf and simply "administered" rather than developed specifically to the needs of the organization and then managed. Research on these programs clearly shows the positive impact of these plans on organizational effectiveness when they are implemented well. In addition, strategic-reward management holds great promise as a method of compensation for nontraditional reward environments, such as public sector, not-for-profit, unionized organizations. An index concludes this book. (Each chapter contains references.) (RT)
