Omschrijving
At the end of the nineteenth century lingering notions of anglophobia and "Manifest Destiny" caused Americans to look upon the British colony to the north as a dangerous and unnatural entity. At the same time many Canadians used the familiar ideas of Loyalism, imperialism, and anti-Americanism to differentiate their Dominion from the republic to the south. America's rise to world power status and the Anglo-American rapprochement, however, forced Americans and Canadians to adapt to a new international reality. In This Kindred People Edward Kohn demonstrates that emphasizing their shared language, civilization, and forms of government enabled many English-speaking North Americans to find common ground by drawing on a shared idea of Anglo-Saxonism.
Kohn shows how Americans and Canadians often referred to each other as members of the same "family," sharing the same "blood," and drew upon the common lexicon of Anglo-Saxon rhetoric to undermine old rivalries and underscore shared interests. Though the predominance of Anglo-Saxonism proved short-lived, it left a legacy of Canadian-American goodwill as both nations accepted their shared destiny on the continent. Kohn argues that this new Canadian-American understanding fostered the Anglo-American "special relationship" that shaped the twentieth century.Specificaties
