Recenzii
'This ambitious, well-researched, voluminously documented history weaves together the bracing contradictions of the nineteenth century US: immigration, Native American displacement and dispossession, and slavery. In his sophisticated analysis, Rasmussen moves back and forth from particular Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish immigrant communities to Old World ideologies and nation-making debates and, in the process, makes a convincing case for the usefulness of synthesizing Scandinavian immigration history.' Karen V. Hansen, Brandeis University
'In this rich, deeply researched, and often surprising study, Rasmussen deftly shows how the outlook and experiences of Scandinavian immigrants and officials shaped their engagement with American dynamics of nationhood, race, and settler colonialism.' Stephen Kantrowitz, University of Wisconsin-Madison
'Rasmussen reveals how white supremacy in the nineteenth century was both a national and transnational project. Scandinavian immigrants' efforts during the Civil War to champion free land and free labor paradoxically led to a possessive investment in whiteness that helped create a racial dictatorship at home and an empire overseas. Rasmussen's splendid work will impel future historians to look beyond national boundaries, to explore the roles played by the world in the nation and the nation in the world.' George Lipsitz, author of The Possessive Investment in Whiteness
'Civil War Settlers is a nuanced study that places the experiences of Civil War-era Scandinavian Americans within a sweeping, national context. As such, this is a welcome contribution to our understanding of immigration, race, and citizenship in Civil War America.' Susannah Ural, author of Civil War Citizens: Race, Ethnicity, and Identity in America's Bloodiest Conflict
'Rasmussen has produced an important book, revealing the double colonial nature of the United States in the Civil War as it explores colonizing formerly enslaved people in the Caribbean and enlisting Scandinavian immigrants in the project of homesteading land taken from Native Americans.' Angela Zimmerman, George Washington University
