Thomas Jefferson and American Nationhood

ENGThis book emphasizes the centrality of nationhood to Thomas Jefferson's thought and politics, envisioning Jefferson as a cultural nationalist whose political project sought the alignment of the American state system with the will and character of the nation. He appears in the book as the essential narrator of what he once called the American Story: as the historian, the sociologist, and the ethnographer; the political theorist of the nation; the most successful practitioner of its politics; and its most enthusiastic champion.RUS . , , . , , ; .
