American freedom is typically associated with the fight of the oppressed for a better world. But for centuries, some Americans have wielded something different: the “freedom to dominate” others. Based on Jefferson Cowie’s Pulitzer Prize winning book, this lecture considers the problem of American freedom from the removal of Native American people to the modern civil rights era. This historical context will help make sense of the crisis of contemporary American politics.
