Book Review

Next Year in USIH

Inspired by a post over at the Religion in American History blog highlighting a number of forthcoming titles in that field, I thought I would offer readers here a quick run-down of some US intellectual history-related books that are on our radar, and ask readers if they will add some more in the comments. It looks like a very promising crop of new titles, and I’m sure we’ll be discussing many of them here in the coming months. Follow me over the jump for a list:

S-USIH Comment Policy

We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.

  1. If anyone is interested in reviewing any of these books for S-USIH in 2015 please let me know. These are important books in need of critical attention. Click on Review section of this site for more info on becoming a reviewer. Thank you.

  2. Thanks for this list! My forthcoming book with OUP, Union Made: Working People and the Rise of Social Christianity in Chicago – which I also mentioned in the post over at RiAH – should be of interest to intellectual historians. Working people’s religious ideas are at the very center of my story.

  3. My The Origins of American Religious Nationalism is coming out in March 2015 (OUP). It should be of interest to some S-USIH readers.
