The first book-length study of the Stamp Act in decades; this timely collection draws together essays from a broad range of disciplines to provide a thoroughly original investigation of the influence of 1760s British tax legislation on colonial culture; and vice versa. While earlier scholarship has largely focused on the political origins and legacy of the Stamp Act; this volume illuminates the social and cultural impact of a legislative crisis that would end in revolution. Importantly; these essays problematize the traditional nationalist narrative of Stamp Act scholarship; offering a variety of counter identities and perspectives. Community without Consent recovers the stories of individuals often ignored or overlooked in existing scholarship; including women; Native Americans; and enslaved African Americans; by drawing on sources unavailable to or unexamined by earlier researchers. This urgent and original collection will appeal to the broadest of interdisciplinary audiences.

Great bookBy Lee4440A very complete telling of the history of one of the most famous units in the Civil War. I couldn't put it down.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. The Iron BrigadeBy William W. GeigerichBook arrived in a well packaged state. The book was as advertised. Perfect condition. It is the most exhaustive study of this famous brigade I have read in over 60 yrs of study. Also 2 members are family ancestors and it explains where they were and what fibbing they did. Buy the book. It is truly worth every penny.
