Book Description
Excerpt from Over the Ocean: Or Glimpses of Travel in Many Lands We seated ourselves in the cars for York, passing through a more variegated country than I have yet seen. There are more hills and valleys, and now and then a high ridge by the road side covered with trees like those on the banks of the Hudson. All the rivers here are very small, not wider than our canals, and have not the beautifully wooded banks of ours. The Ayr has a tow path, and is used as a canal. We passed some of the most beautiful little dells with hamlets Situated delightfully on the rising ground. There would be a neat stone farm house looking superior to the tiled ones about it, and then the good substantial barns and out-houses surrounding it, and last but not least, a little stone church with its square tower and turrets, and perhaps a little rivulet which we should not deem worthy a bridge of any kind, spanned by a single arch, built of stone, with its sides over grown with vines and grass.

Book Description
When antebellum Americans talked about the contemporary struggle for Italian unification (the Risorgimento), they were often saying more about themselves than about Italy. In Domesticating Foreign Struggles Paola Gemme unpacks the American cultural record on the Risorgimento not only to make sense of the U.S. engagement with the broader world but also to understand the nation’s domestic preoccupations. Swayed by the myth of the United States as a catalyst of and model for global liberal movements, says Gemme, Americans saw parallels to their own history in the Risorgimento--and they said as much in newspapers, magazines, travel accounts, diplomatic dispatches, poems, maps, and paintings. And yet, in American eyes, Italians were too civically deficient to ever achieve republican goals. Such a view, says Gemme, reaffirmed cherished beliefs both in the United States as the center of world events and in the notion of American exceptionalism. Gemme argues that Americans also pondered the place of “subordinate” ethnic groups in domestic culture--especially Irish Catholic immigrants and enslaved African Americans--through the discourse on Risorgimento Italy. Thus, says Gemme, national identity rested not only on differentiation from outside groups but also on a desire for internal racial and cultural homogeneity. Writing in a tradition pioneered by Amy Kaplan, Richard Slotkin, and others, Gemme advances the movement to “internationalize” American studies by situating the United States in its global cultural context.
