An estimated seven hundred American citizens, sailors, and naval officers were taken captive over the course of the Barbary Crises (1784–1815), and this overseas danger threatened to grow and irreparably harm the young republic. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlood and Ink\u003c\/i\u003e reconstructs the largely forgotten influence of these early American conflicts with North Africa on notions of publicity, print culture, and racial and national identity from independence to the Civil War. Exploring the extensive archive of texts inspired by the conflicts—from captivity narratives, novels, plays, and poems to broadsides, travel narratives, children’s literature, newspaper articles, and visual ephemera—Jacob Crane connects anxieties surrounding North African piracy and white slavery to both the development of American abolitionism and representations of transatlantic African and Jewish identities in the early national and antebellum periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAppealing to the Nation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePart One: Of Pirates and Print\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eChapter One\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Patriot and the Sable Bard\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eChapter Two\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBarbary(an) Invasions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePart Two: The Barbary and the Jewish Atlantic\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eChapter Three\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e“A Vague Resemblance to Something Seen Elsewhere”\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eChapter Four\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePerforming Diaspora in Noah’s Travels\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePart Three: The Long Shadow of the Barbary\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eChapter Five\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e“The Advantage of a Whip-Lecture”\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eChapter Six\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ePeter Parley in Tripoli\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eCoda: Selim’s Archive Fever\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University of Massachusetts Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52633035866392,"sku":"9781625347411","price":22.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/blood-and-ink-the-barbary-archive-in-early-american-literary-history-paperback-softback-9781625347411","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
