Seller's Description:
New York. 1975. May 1975. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0394482042. 373 pages. hardcover. Cover: Asher B. Durand-'Andrew Jackson' & Albrecht Durer-'King Death on Horseback'. keywords: American Indian America History. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In a provocative psychological study, Michael Paul Rogin reveals the dark interior of Jackson's life and career-his complex, deep-seated hostility toward the American Indians and his central responsibility for their destruction. Overcoming severe early difficulties-a speech impediment similar to that of Melville's Billy Budd, prolonged childhood illness, the loss of both parents-Jackson rose to become a successful lawyer, politician, land speculator, and slave owner on the Tennessee frontier. The ‘architect of his own fortunes, ' a self-made man subservient to no one, he embodied the triumphant aspects of the popular mythology of the post-Revolutionary era, when the patriarchal order in politics and society was crumbling, freeing men to make their own ways, alone and unfettered. Yet, the psychic cost of liberation was extremely high: ‘it intensified loneliness, vengeful disappointment, and separation anxiety. ' Thus, Jackson, in freeing himself from his personal burdens and satisfying a compelling, fundamental need for authority, constructed for himself and his contemporaries a new paternal order to both supplant and honor the Founding Fathers' ambiguous legacy of independence, virtue, and opportunity. Its first premise was the removal of the Indian from his tribal lands in the southeastern United States. Rogin argues that Jacksonian Democracy-emphasizing laissez-faire capitalism, liberal egalitarianism, governmental reform, and westward expansion and symbolized by Jackson's war with the Bank of the United States-emerged from this anxious and deadly background to dominate American politics for a generation before the Civil War. inventory #22060.

Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. 25 cm. [22], 373, [1], xii, [8] pages. Illustrations. References. Index. DJ worn, soiled, with tears and chips. Michael Paul Rogin (June 29, 1937? November 25, 2001) was an American political scientist who taught at the University of California, Berkeley. His intellectual interests included American literature and cinema. His work is notable for its critique of American imperialism, and he was viewed as one of the members of the Berkeley school of political theory. His work, The Intellectuals and McCarthy: The Radical Specter won the Albert J. Beveridge Award from the American Historical Association. Derived from a Kirkus review: Rogin attempts to examine the qualitative, psychological dimensions behind the rational self-interest of oppression. The book is hung on a specific peg--the Indian-fighting, land-grabbing and self-boosting Andrew Jackson. Rogin views Jackson's on-and-off paternalism toward the Indians as not simply a ploy for purposes of negotiations, but part of his military and presidential character; this paternalism makes an intriguing contrast to Jackson's egalitarian populist image. The book provides an extended scrutiny of Southern frontier life and its clan structure. It also compiles an intricate account of land speculation maneuvers and the national debate over debt. This extension of Rogin's inquiry into the early American character reaches beyond the Indian question to discuss Jackson's war against the Big Bank as something other than old-fashioned agrarianism. Everywhere Rogin has assembled a good deal of useful material which shows the Indian/frontier theme to be less worn out than one had thought.
