Kissel Matthew Bowman America's Religious Crossroads: Faith and Community in the Emerging Midwest By Stephen T. Kissel (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2021. Pp. ix, 240. Notes, bibliography, index. Clothbound, $110.00; paperbound, $28.00.) This book is a throwback to the historiography of American religion in the very best and most appealing ways. Over the past twenty years, American religious history has turned toward culture, politics, and business, producing some very fine studies of \"religion &\"—that is, religion and economics, religion and white supremacy, religion and the Republican Party. Kissel does a bit of that here, calling attention to political reform and to issues of race and gender. But overall, this book made me think of Nathan O. Hatch's The Democratization of American Christianity (1991), a [End Page 98] landmark social history that showed how the democratizing impulses in post-Revolutionary American culture and society transformed the structures, theology, and even hymnody of American Protestantism. Like Hatch, Kissel offers us a very fine look at lived religion among American Protestants, Roman Catholics, and some new religious movements, like the Mormons and the Shakers, in the years between the Revolution and the Civil War. My favorite chapters of this book walk us through, step by step, Protestants' slow transformation of an ad-hoc system of itinerant education into Sunday schools and eventually full-fledged institutions of higher education, like Oberlin College or Kissel's own alma mater, McKendree University. They also show us how Protestants and Catholics began, in the rough frontier towns of the Old Northwest, worshipping in homes or above general stores, eventually constructing grand neo-Gothic edifices. Kissel excels at methodically assembling narratives that illuminate the day-to-day reality of being a believer, the sort of lived religion that many scholars grew interested in during the 1990s. Yet, in its own way, Kissel's book is also \"religion &.\" Hatch's book focused on democratization and the ways in which Protestants undermined and rejected traditional religious authority and hierarchy. Kissel shows that while this impulse was quite real—there are in these pages no shortage of entrepreneurial itinerant preachers, circuit riders, and layfolk who, in the absence of a trained ministry, simply shrugged and built congregations on their own—religious institutions in the early nineteenth century did not simply suffer entropy. Rather, in the particular arena of the Old Northwest, where social order and stabilizing institutions were thin on the ground, Protestantism became the vector for building organization. Through meticulous research, Kissel shows how those Sunday schools grew, developed, and often ended up serving as the primary source of education in these rural communities; how congregations that built cha","PeriodicalId":81518,"journal":{"name":"Indiana magazine of history","volume":"475 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135532375","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}

Wood Race, Removal, and the Right to Remain: Migration and the Making of the United States By Samantha Seeley (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2021. Pp. ix, 354. Notes, index. Clothbound, $34.95; paperbound, $29.95.) In Race, Removal and the Right to Remain, Samantha Seeley studies, in tandem, the efforts by United States politicians and reformers to push Native Americans farther west and expel free African Americans from specific states or the nation as a whole. Although these movements are most commonly studied separately, Seeley demonstrates how both reflected similar impulses to control the nation's \"racial geography\" and create a \"republic based on whiteness\" (pp. 3, 7). Seeley also traces both movements back to the late colonial period, whereas most scholarship on Black removal focuses on the period after the 1816 creation of the American Colonization Society (ACS) and studies of Indian removal generally give disproportionate attention to the period beginning with President Andrew Jackson's election in 1828. By integrating the history of removal and focusing on the early republic, Seeley offers a fresh perspective that also highlights the ways nonwhite Americans contested removal and defended their \"right to remain.\" The \"right to remain\" is not part of our normal pantheon of rights, but Seeley convincingly demonstrates that it is a useful concept. Indeed, for the Black and Indigenous people she [End Page 93] studies, this \"right\" was closely connected to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Native Americans sought to remain on their ancestral lands where their communities hunted, fished, and farmed. Free African Americans sought to remain with their families, which often included members who remained enslaved, and/or acquire land they could work for their own benefit. However, these desires were often at odds with the interests of white Americans who wanted cheap land and who often sought to strengthen the institution of slavery by removing the anomalous class of free Blacks. Throughout the early national period, Native peoples banded their tribes together in larger confederacies in order to strengthen their negotiating and defensive positions. This cooperation enabled the United Indian Nations to resist removal pressure and score \"major military victories against U.S. forces\" in 1790 and 1791 (p. 92). During negotiations in 1793, the Indians again rebuffed pressure to cede land, responding: \"It appears strange you should expect any from us, who have only been defending our just rights against your invasion\" (p. 119). Instead of accepting the money offered for cessions, the Indians encouraged U.S. negotiators to use the funds to remove white settlers who were encroaching on Native land. Over time, divisions and disagreements among Indians weakened their position while the U.S. grew in st","PeriodicalId":81518,"journal":{"name":"Indiana magazine of history","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135532372","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}

One of my great-grandmothers was born in rural southern Japan and eventually acclimated to colonized Hawai'i, while another fled the potato famine in Ireland to ultimately raise mostly sons and horses and teach Sunday school in rural western Nebraska. What, if anything, would all of my great-grandmothers recognize as food? Four recent cookbooks focusing on regional, regenerative, and Indigenous foodways in Minnesota largely set the thornier issues of the heritage part of heritage cooking aside. Regardless of personal grandparentage, they suggest readers can look to the Native American foodways and smallholder farming traditions of the upper Midwest for guidance on how to grow, hunt, and forage the makings of a delicious diet without courting chronic disease or exacerbating climate change, to name two of the main scourges blamed, at least partially, on the SAD. Beth Dooley either wrote or co-authored three of the four cookbooks, which are stuffed with full-page color photographs, mostly of the recipes as prepared or in suggested serving arrangements. Amaranth crackers are shown arrayed on a wood cutting board around a darker wood bowl piled with pale whitefish and white bean spread and a handful of bright green watercress (The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen, p. 61). Each of the Dooley trio also includes at least two photographs of foraged ingredients, lovingly cupped in creased or dirt-speckled hands. 1 The fourth cookbook is dedicated specifically to wild rice, referred to throughout and henceforth by the Anishnaabeg word \"manoomin.\" Written by Tashia Hart of the Red Lake Band of the Ojibwe Nation, The Good Berry Cookbook is an oversized softcover crowded with high-resolution close-ups of foraged ingredients [End Page 84] in situ and hands included in shots primarily to establish scale, more reminiscent of a field guide than a gourmet magazine.

Glenn Crothers Not Made by Slaves: Ethical Capitalism in the Age of Abolition By Bronwen Everill (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2020. Pp. 328. Notes, index. $39.95.) Today, consumer boycotts have become a common feature of progressive and conservative political movements. Bronwen Everill's Not Made by Slaves traces the origins of such campaigns to the abolitionist movement, which, in the late eighteenth century, first attacked the slave trade and later sought to end slavery. Her study identifies two elements of the effort to create a commercial system free from the taint of slavery: free produce, which placed culpability for slavery on the consumer; and legitimate commerce, which sought to induce producers, particularly in West Africa, to abandon the slave trade for alternative sources of income. The commercial abolitionists who led the drive for a more ethical commerce sought to reform capitalism, to end what they considered its greatest moral stain, but in the process their efforts revealed the contradictions that lay at the heart of \"ethical capitalism.\" They embraced tactics that undermined slavery and simultaneously maintained profitability, but these tactics also created new ethical conundrums that opened the campaign to charges of self-interest and hypocrisy. Commercial abolitionists successfully highlighted the moral responsibility of British and American consumers and West African producers for sustaining slavery, but their vision of a reformed capitalism also helped create a global division of labor in which Africa and Asia became economic monocultures exploited by Western manufacturing nations. Everill's most significant insight lies in her analysis of the integral role West Africa played in the campaigns to combat slavery and the slave trade. Envisioning a truly Atlantic world, or at least North Atlantic world, she argues that in response to slavery and the consumer revolution it made possible, West Africans organized consumer boycotts, supported political change, and participated in religious revivals unique to their localities, but [End Page 100] also paralleling those taking place in Europe and the Americas. Across seven chapters, Everill explores the various elements of commercial abolitionists' efforts to end African and European participation in slavery: the consumer revolution of the eighteenth century and consumers' growing sense of responsibility for slavery's centrality in the production of staples like sugar and cotton; the creation of ethical brands recognized as produced by free labor; the crucial function of credit, particularly in West Africa, in promoting legitimate commerce; the role of government contracts and tariffs in promoting abolitionists' goals; and how nationalist concerns shaped reformers' tactics. Commercial abolitionists insisted that ending slave-produced consumption and replacing it with free p","PeriodicalId":81518,"journal":{"name":"Indiana magazine of history","volume":"201 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135532369","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}
