We examine their acidic criticisms of mixed-sex societies, their hope for multiple yet homogeneous communities of lesbians, and the strategies they used to recruit, build, and sustain collectives beyond the patriarchal United States. Like other separatists, they framed categories of identity—sex and sexuality in their case—as reasons to separate. Unlike other separatist movements, they did not seek to build a new nation. Other separatists wanted to leave their American prison and retreat into a national fortress; lesbian separatists envisioned a far more formless, scattered alternative. Other separatist discourses were stocked with singular ideals of a national homeland. Lesbian separatist discourse was, on the whole, nearly totally devoid of positive references to nations, nationality, or nationalism generally.","PeriodicalId":307209,"journal":{"name":"We Are Not One People","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126472768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter highlights the fulsomeness of the Black nationalist vocabulary by examining influential nationalist books and speeches ranging from proto-nationalists in the antebellum period to Black power advocates in 1960s and 1970. It focuses on how Black separatists specifically and nationalists generally consecrated physical space. The full nationalist rhetorical spectrum includes advocates who urged the creation of separate Black styles of dress, modes of speech, organizations, rifle clubs, schools, stores, churches, neighborhoods, cities, states, nation-states, and polities generally, all “alternatives to the oppressive social institutions” that “dominated” Black life in America. The nations imagined served as both strategic goals and comforting dreams for the vast number of individuals and organizations who concluded that America was always and forever a racist nation and, therefore, that new possibilities for Black people required a new beginning.","PeriodicalId":307209,"journal":{"name":"We Are Not One People","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125638085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For religious communities, separation has been a method to protect a religious order that was under assault and a tool to create the material conditions necessary for a spiritual ideal, a godly kingdom on earth, beyond the bounds of a sinful America. This chapter analyzes discourses of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From its beginning, the Church has faced tremendous pressure to assimilate into and separate from American culture. Brigham Young displayed the Church’s view of secession when he declared in 1845, “When we go from here we dont calculate to go under any government but the government of God.” Over the next century the Church and Utah integrated into America as a distinct religious group and showed that Young’s declaration was premised on a false choice, as they successfully utilized secession to advance integration.","PeriodicalId":307209,"journal":{"name":"We Are Not One People","volume":"164 2-3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122745480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter shows how libertarians litigated the social contract generally and the American social contract specifically. It examines the key thinkers and core texts of American libertarianism to explore how two rhetorical resources, natural rights philosophy and early American legal and cultural history, have enabled the libertarian case for ignoring the state. They pulled from global examples of statist oppression and Enlightenment-inspired language of first principles—“Absolute power corrupts absolutely”—but they also brought these analogies and commonplaces to bear domestically with endless citations of Thomas Jefferson and the Anti-Federalists, data mining the ratification and meaning of the Constitution, and reproaches of a thick roster of American autocrats. American libertarians used both arguments for majority-rules as well as arguments for minority rights to justify secession, and they employed America’s Founding language to unsettle national foundations.","PeriodicalId":307209,"journal":{"name":"We Are Not One People","volume":"312 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122094965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although secession and separatism remain thorny concepts to define, as the era of revolutionary nationalism began, secession began denoting a people and a place, a demos attached to a space, a group leaving a nation and taking part of it with them. Separatism, both in practice and imagination, has been conspicuous in the American national experience. Questions about the boundaries of national union, about the consent to be governed, about the limits of freedom, and about remedies to polarization sprout in every democracy. Those questions are given particular shape in the key words, narratives, lines of argument, shared histories, vaunted heroes, fallen villains, and nation-defining acts of particular political cultures. Since the beginning, separatists have used distinctly American symbols to unmake the nation.","PeriodicalId":307209,"journal":{"name":"We Are Not One People","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115644619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
