This essay argues that, for Apess, nullification emerges as a transformative practice that can be used in the absence of treaties to articulate the Mashpees' political and religious claims and leverage new political possibilities for them, in part through its invocation of the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution. References to nullification also allow him to transform and elevate the Mashpees' situation from one of local concern to national and even eschatological importance. Nullification provides an avenue to respond to characterizations of Mashpees that circulated in the New England press in which their situation was used as an occasion, or even a vehicle, for working through issues of concern for many white Americans, such as miscegenation (to use a term common in the era) and growing sectional tensions. The essay concludes by briefly connecting Apess's arguments with the Mashpee Wampanoags' more recent efforts to gain federal recognition and assert their territorial claims.","PeriodicalId":44043,"journal":{"name":"EARLY AMERICAN LITERATURE","volume":"58 1","pages":"395 - 422"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44565391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To be sure, these discussions have been illuminating in many ways, but this essay seeks to change direction in Equiana by calling attention to the enchantments that infuse Equiano's life story—the magical and miraculous events that structure the narrative of his experience and the corresponding concepts of enchanted space and time by which he interprets them. Presenting supernatural experiences as evidence of his sensibility to the enchanted substrata of the world, Equiano, I argue, attempts a counter-cartographic project of locating Africa and Africans at the center of the atlas of world history over and against the dominant British assumption that Africa had no place in the history of human civilization. To accomplish this remapping, Equiano deploys enchanted scenes rhetorically to depict Africa as central to geohistorical time. Concomitantly, in his presentation of miraculous encounters, Equiano stresses a competing hermeneutics of enchantment that sanctions his new depiction and, along with it, his calls for abolition and justice. In focusing on Equiano's sensibility to extraempirical dimensions of geography and history, I hope to provide scholars of secular and religious orientations, as well as those divided over Equiano's empirical birthplace, some ground for collaboration and new discussion.","PeriodicalId":44043,"journal":{"name":"EARLY AMERICAN LITERATURE","volume":"58 1","pages":"337 - 362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49473473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As we move into postpandemic life, it is impossible to ignore that the practice of virtual participation opens events to scholars and audiences who are unable to travel to attend, whether because of financial constraints, health concerns, family needs, professional conflicts, or other restrictions. The panels and events that felt most enriching were those that convened the widest variety of early Americanist thinkers, and it is worth considering what conversations might be lost from limiting attendance to in-person only. That said, the conference was overall exceptionally organized, and it was notably accessible and friendly to junior scholars and public audiences, while still maintaining a focus on advanced study. As an inaugural event of semiquincentennial celebration, “Revolutionary Legacies” provoked timely and necessary questions for the field of Early American Studies, challenging the conventional geographies, temporalities, and actors of the Revolution. It is exciting that this conference will convene again for the next four years. This event is well worth attending, and its repetition promises to foster continued evolution and reinterpretation of Revolutionary-era scholarship.","PeriodicalId":44043,"journal":{"name":"EARLY AMERICAN LITERATURE","volume":"58 1","pages":"566 - 572"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42400862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although public schools were not popularized in the United States until the 1900s, Wang pinpoints the Founders’ pioneering efforts to establish a democratic education for the nation. Focusing on Jefferson’s combination of Confucius’s educational principles into his proposals for Virginia educational reform, Wang analyzes how Confucian wisdom of universal education and “choosing students according to their talents” (199) helped shape the K–12 and higher education systems in the United States. China and the Founding of the United States is a timely attempt to revisit the initial stage of Sino-US material and intellectual communications and to reevaluate the influence of Chinese civilization on American nation-building. Strong evidence from Wang’s various sources shows the need to recognize the composite nature of early American culture from different lenses. As Wang notes in the epilogue, the aim of his work is not merely to present Chinese cultural impact, but to emphasize the importance of intercultural understanding and mutual learning between East and West. Despite minor imperfections, like the recurrence of certain archival texts and the overgeneralization of specific Confucian ideas, Wang’s thought-provoking work makes great contributions to early American history, American Studies, and transcultural studies. Given its clear-cut thematic divisions and easily located subheadings, the book could also be a resourceful text for undergraduate or graduate courses. Wang’s fascinating study is a remarkable achievement that will undoubtedly push early American scholarship in new directions at the same time it invites future researchers to uncover the influence of global culture on early American life.","PeriodicalId":44043,"journal":{"name":"EARLY AMERICAN LITERATURE","volume":"58 1","pages":"525 - 529"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46758695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
