Through the concept of the xenocitizen, a synthesis of the terms \"xeno,\" which connotes alien or stranger, and \"citizen,\" which signals a naturalized subject of a state, Berger uncovers realities and possibilities that have been foreclosed by dominant paradigms. Innovatively re-orienting our thinking about traditional nineteenth-century figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau as well as formative writers such as William Wells Brown, Martin R. Delany, Margaret Fuller, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, \u003ci\u003eX\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eenocitizens \u003c\/i\u003eglimpses how antebellum thinkers formulated, in response to varying forms of oppression and crisis, startlingly unique ontological and social models as well as unfamiliar ways to exist and to leverage change. In doing so, Berger offers us a different nineteenth century—pushing our imaginative and critical thinking toward new terrain.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Xenocitizens   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Illiberal Ontologies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1.\u003c\/b\u003e Emerson's Operative Mood   33\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2.\u003c\/b\u003e Agitating Margaret Fuller   58\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart II: Illiberal Ecologies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3.\u003c\/b\u003e Thoreau's Militant Vegetables   101\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4.\u003c\/b\u003e Unadjusted Emancipations   153\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/b\u003e: Care, There and Now   201\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e   205\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e   279\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580357832984,"sku":"9780823287673","price":28.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/xenocitizens-illiberal-ontologies-in-nineteenth-century-america-paperback-softback-9780823287673","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
