{"product_id":"healing-the-republic-joan-burbick-9780521106733","title":"Healing the Republic: The Language of Health and the Culture of Nationalism in Nineteenth-Century America","description":"The creation of an American national culture in the nineteenth century coincided with a common belief that the emerging nation was diseased and in need of healing. Reading nineteenth-century narratives of health by a wide variety of authors, Burbick exposes the fears and conflicts underlying the creation of an American national culture. In studying these narratives of the body, this pioneering and comprehensive work concludes that a fundamental uneasiness about democracy may result in a collective, willful effort to control the body trope as a means of composing social order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joan Burbick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521106737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521106733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.82d","brand":"Joan Burbick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056248713471,"sku":"9780521106733","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73cc26fe-9961-4426-92ea-71a549862984.jpg?v=1685040311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/healing-the-republic-joan-burbick-9780521106733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
