Through the concept of the xenocitizen, a synthesis of the terms ?xeno,? which connotes alien or stranger, and ?citizen,? which signals a naturalized subject of a state, Berger uncovers realities and possibilities that have been foreclosed by dominant paradigms. Innovatively re-orienting our thinking about traditional nineteenth-century figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau as well as formative writers such as William Wells Brown, Martin R. Delany, Margaret Fuller, and Harriet Beecher Stowe, Xenocitizens glimpses how antebellum thinkers formulated, in response to varying forms of oppression and crisis, startlingly unique ontological and social models as well as unfamiliar ways to exist and to leverage change. In doing so, Berger offers us a different nineteenth century?pushing our imaginative and critical thinking toward new terrain. 606 $aAmerican literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiberalism in literature 606 $aSocial change in literature 606 $aLiberalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aHarriet Beecher Stowe. 610 $aHenry David Thoreau. 610 $aMargaret Fuller. 610 $aMartin Delany. 610 $aNineteenth-century American literature. 610 $aRalph Waldo Emerson. 610 $aWilliam Wells Brown. 610 $aantebellum U.S. 610 $aecology. 610 $aliberalism. 610 $aneoliberalism. 610 $aontology. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLiberalism in literature. 615 0$aSocial change in literature. 615 0$aLiberalism$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 676 $a810.93581 700 $aBerger$b Jason$f1976-$01041598 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910478933203321 996 $aXenocitizens$92469779 997 $aUNINA
