Review # 1 was written on 2015-07-06 00:00:00 Keith Johnson Ya en esta primera fase, entonces, se afirma un nuevo principio de soberanía, diferente del europeo: la libertad es hecha soberana y la soberanía definida como radicalmente democrática dentro de un proceso de expansión continuo y abierto. La frontera es una frontera de libertad. ¡Qué hueca hubiera sido la retórica de los Federalistas y cuan inapropiada su “nueva ciencia política”, de no haber presupuesto este vasto y móvil umbral de la frontera! La misma idea de escasez que–como la idea de guerra–estuvo en el centro del concepto europeo de soberanía moderna es eliminada a priori de los procesos constitutivos de la experiencia Americana. Tanto Jefferson como Jackson comprendieron la materialidad de la frontera y la reconocieron como la base que sostenía la expansividad de la democracia. Imperio Pág.129

Review # 2 was written on 2012-12-05 00:00:00 Pam Green update: I guess this is a sneaky book, because I'm realizing that I learned A LOT from this. I didn't think so immediately after reading, but I keep coming up on things and thinking "oh, I know this" This is an extremely detailed synopsis of JQA's foreign policy only. But it says that in the title, so you shouldn't be surprised. I'm super happy to have read it, I wasn't aware that he had such an impact on so many pieces of early U.S. history, and how interconnected all the border issues were. also, I need to remember the Bemis has the best writing style. Some of his sentences are almost humorous because they're so fancy!
